How do we know salvation is purely God's work?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is solely God's work as demonstrated in the healing of the blind man, where God performed the action without human contribution.

The healing of the blind man in John 9 serves as a clear demonstration of salvation being entirely God's work. The blind man himself acknowledges, 'One thing I know, that whereas I was blind, now I see' (John 9:25). This indicates that he was a passive recipient of healing, just as sinners are passive recipients of God’s grace in salvation, highlighting the doctrine of sovereign grace. The Scriptures further affirm that it is by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). There is no room for human merit or action in this transformative process.
