Scripture consistently declares that salvation is from the Lord, emphasizing His sovereign grace.
The doctrine of salvation being solely of the Lord is emphasized throughout Scripture. For example, Psalm 37:39 states, 'The salvation of the righteous is of the Lord.' This theme is reiterated in Acts 4:12, where it is declared that there is no other name under heaven by which we must be saved, firmly establishing that Christ alone is the source of salvation. Moreover, Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that salvation is not based on our works but is a gift from God, ensuring that all glory belongs to Him. Thus, the overwhelming testimony of Scripture affirms that salvation is entirely God's work, independent of human effort.
