Salvation is entirely of God, as it is revealed through Scripture that man cannot earn or contribute to his own salvation.
The sermon emphasizes that salvation belongs wholly to the Lord and cannot be earned by human effort. In Galatians 1:11-12, Paul asserts that the gospel he preached was not of human origin but revealed by Jesus Christ. This divine revelation indicates that only God can change a person's heart and grant them faith. The process of salvation is characterized by God's active grace, whereby He imparts new life to the spiritually dead, allowing them to respond to His call. This underscores the core tenet of sovereign grace that our redemption is not due to any action on our part but a sovereign work of God.
