How do we know God's grace is responsible for our salvation?
Answered in 1 source
We know God's grace is responsible for our salvation because Scripture asserts that we are saved not by our works but according to His mercy.
Scripture consistently teaches that the foundation of our salvation is the grace of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This indicates that our salvation is purely the result of God's unmerited favor. Further, 2 Thessalonians 2:13 supports this by explaining that God has chosen us for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth. Therefore, any genuine believer acknowledges that apart from God's grace, we could do nothing to achieve salvation.
