How do we know salvation comes from God alone?

Answered in 3 sources

The Bible explicitly states that salvation is of the Lord, reinforcing that humans cannot earn or achieve it by their own efforts.

Hannah's prayer reflects a core truth of Scripture: 'Salvation is of the Lord' (Jonah 2:9). This indicates that salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, not a product of human effort or merit. Throughout the Bible, we see examples that highlight this principle, such as Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not of works, lest anyone should boast. This understanding motivates believers to rely on God's mercy rather than personal righteousness, echoing Hannah's acknowledgment of God's sovereignty in salvation. By accepting that it is God alone who saves, believers find assurance and security in His redemptive plan.
