How do we know salvation begins with God?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture clearly states that salvation is initiated by God, not by human effort.

The belief that salvation begins with God is firmly rooted in the writings of Scripture. Isaiah 45:22 states, 'Look unto me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.' This call emphasizes that salvation originates with God's initiative and not our own. Furthermore, Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces this by stating that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from ourselves, but a gift from God. This truth assures believers that it is not their actions, but God's grace and purpose that bring about salvation. Recognizing this leads to a deeper reliance on God's mercy rather than personal merit.
