How do we know God's grace is the source of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture affirms that salvation is not of human will but is solely the result of God's mercy (Romans 9:16).

The foundation of salvation lies in God's sovereign grace. Romans 9:16 emphasizes that it is not of him that wills or runs but of God who shows mercy. This command counters the prevailing notion of free willism, which attributes merit to human choice in salvation. In Galatians 2:21, Paul insists that righteousness cannot originate from law or works, reinforcing the doctrine that salvation is by grace alone. Thus, every aspect of salvation, from election to regeneration, highlights God's initiative and grace rather than human action.
