How do we know salvation is entirely God's work?

According to the sermon, God’s role in salvation is emphasized through the declaration in Isaiah 42:16. The phrase 'I will bring the blind' highlights that we are inherently blind to spiritual truth and must rely on God to lead us. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of total depravity, which states that humans cannot achieve salvation on their own due to their sinful nature. Instead, God, in His grace, initiates the salvation process and carries it out by means of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This reflects the essence of TULIP—specifically Total Depravity and Unconditional Election, demonstrating that God alone orchestrates and accomplishes our salvation through His sovereign will.
