Salvation is entirely the work of God, as believers are created anew by His Spirit, not by their own efforts.
The doctrine of salvation being entirely of God is supported through various scriptures emphasizing His sovereignty in the process of redemption. For instance, in Psalm 100, it states, 'It is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves.' This signifies that our faith and renewed nature are not products of human effort but divine intervention. Believers are drawn to faith because God has made them alive; faith itself is a gift reflecting the new birth given by the Holy Spirit. Understanding salvation as solely God’s work challenges any notion that humanity contributes to its acquisition, affirming the doctrine of sovereign grace.
