How do we know salvation is entirely from the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is initiated and completed by God, according to His sovereign grace and eternal purpose.

The belief that salvation is entirely from the Lord is supported by various scripture passages, including Ephesians 1:11 and Philippians 1:6. Paul teaches that our salvation was determined in eternity, based on God’s sovereign choice. The notion that 'salvation is of the Lord' (Jonah 2:9) encapsulates the reformed understanding that human effort or merit plays no role in salvation; rather, it is an act of God's grace, initiated before the foundation of the world.
