How do we know salvation is entirely from God?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible affirms that salvation is initiated and completed entirely by God's sovereign grace.

In Romans 8 and Romans 11, Paul outlines that salvation is wholly the work of God. Ephesians 1:4-5 and 2 Timothy 1:9 affirm that God's electing love and the calling of individuals into salvation begin with Him. This excludes any reliance on human effort or choice. Thus, our justification, sanctification, and glorification are entirely the result of His sovereign decree and power, which emphasizes that our salvation is a gift of grace from beginning to end.
