How do we know God saves sinners for His name's sake?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible explicitly states that God saves sinners for His own holy name's sake, as seen in Ezekiel 36.

In Ezekiel 36:22, God declares, 'I do not this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for mine own holy name’s sake.' This passage reveals that God's saving acts are rooted in His desire to glorify Himself rather than any merit found in humanity. God's purpose in salvation is to publicly vindicate His holiness and to demonstrate His faithfulness and mercy. As God's character is seen through His saving actions, it becomes clear that He does not save based on our worthiness but because it brings glory to His name. Therefore, understanding that salvation is for His name's sake emphasizes the sovereignty and grace of God in the act of redemption.
