How do we know salvation is purely by God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is solely by God's grace as it is unearned and given through Christ's work alone.

The doctrine of sovereign grace emphasizes that salvation cannot be achieved through human effort but is a gift from God. In Mark 7, we see Jesus perform a miracle not by the man's actions but by His command and mercy. This indicates that salvation comes from God's initiative—He opens the ears and hearts of the spiritually deaf. Ephesians 2:8-9 confirms this by stating that we are saved by grace through faith, and not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. Our deadness in sin necessitates a divine act of grace for us to believe and be saved.
