How do we know salvation is a gift of God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a gift of God's grace, justly given because of Christ's atoning work on our behalf.

The doctrine of salvation as a gift of God's grace is rooted in the belief that it is not based on any merit of our own but solely on Christ's redemptive work. In Isaiah 65:1, we learn that God is found by those who did not seek Him, illustrating that salvation is initiated by God's grace. The Apostle Paul affirms this in Romans 10:20, stating that God made Himself manifest to those who weren't looking for Him. This reflects the sovereign grace of God in calling His elect, showing that salvation is a divine act rooted in the work of Christ rather than human endeavor.
