Salvation is of grace as it is completely rooted in God's sovereign choice and unfailing mercy, not human effort.
The doctrine of salvation as all of grace is intricately woven throughout scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 proclaims that by grace we have been saved through faith, and this is not our own doing; it is the gift of God. Moreover, 2 Timothy 1:9 states that God saved us and called us not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace. This clarifies that human effort plays no role in obtaining salvation; instead, it is an act of God’s unmerited favor bestowed upon those He has chosen. Believers experience His grace through election, justification, and regeneration, affirming the completeness of God's work in salvation.
