We know salvation is of the Lord because it is explicitly declared in Scripture, indicating that it does not depend on human merit or choice.
Scripture teaches that salvation is wholly of the Lord. The sermon highlights this by stating that 'salvation is of the Lord 100%' and reiterates that it does not depend on the preacher or the hearer. This tenet resonates with several biblical passages, emphasizing that God alone is responsible for calling and saving His people. Ephesians 2:8-9 elaborates that we are saved by grace through faith, and it is not of ourselves; it is a gift from God, underscoring that it is not based on works. Therefore, any belief in human agency undermines the pivotal truth of God's sovereignty in salvation.
