How do we know salvation is a work of grace?

Answered in 4 sources

Salvation is entirely by grace, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9, emphasizing that it is a gift of God and not of works.

The doctrine of salvation by grace is foundational in the Reformed tradition, underscored by Ephesians 2:8-9, which clearly states that by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This means that our salvation does not stem from our own effort or righteousness but is a sovereign act of God's will. Romans 2:29 also highlights that true believers' praise is not from men but from God, reinforcing that their salvation is sourced in divine grace. This understanding eliminates any grounds for human boasting and signifies the fullness of divine sovereignty in the salvation experience.
