How do we know salvation comes from God?

The assurance of salvation coming from God is deeply rooted in scripture, particularly in Psalm 62:1, which declares, 'From Him cometh my salvation.' This statement encapsulates the Reformed understanding that salvation is initiated, secured, and completed by God alone. Throughout the Bible, we see God’s sovereign plan of redemption, highlighted in passages like Galatians 4:4-5, where God sent His Son to redeem us. The believer’s confidence in salvation is not based on personal merit but completely on the work of Christ as our substitute and Savior, who fulfills the requirements of the law on our behalf.
