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

Answered in 6 sources

Salvation is by God's grace, as indicated in Romans 9:16, where Paul states it is not of man’s will but of God's mercy.

The doctrine of salvation by grace is firmly established in Scripture and articulated by Paul in Romans 9:16, stating that it depends on God's mercy and not human effort. This illustrates that our natural inclinations and attempts to earn favor with God through works are futile. Paul addresses objections to God's sovereignty, affirming that mercy is entirely His prerogative. Thus, understanding salvation as solely by grace emphasizes that it is God who initiates and completes our redemption, solely based on His will and purpose.
