How do we know salvation is only through grace?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is only through grace as it is solely based on God's decision to save sinners rather than any human merit.

The doctrine of salvation by grace alone is foundational to the Reformed faith, affirming that the initiative for salvation comes purely from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This highlights that human efforts or works have no role in securing salvation, as God's sovereign will and purpose determine who is saved. Furthermore, Paul's testimony illustrates this truth; he acknowledges his previous persecution of Christians and the fact that he received mercy purely through God's choice to intervene in his life, demonstrating that grace is unearned and unmerited.
