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

Answered in 2 sources

Scripture teaches that salvation is entirely the work of God, as seen in verses like Colossians 1:12-14, which emphasize His initiative in rescuing believers.

The Bible clearly affirms that salvation is a complete work of God. Colossians 1:12-14 highlights that it is God the Father who qualifies us for the inheritance and delivers us from darkness. Such deliverance is affirmed through the whole governance of the Trinity in the process of salvation. Our inability to save ourselves due to our dead state in sin is addressed in Ephesians 2:1, where Paul states that we were 'dead in trespasses and sins.' Thus, salvation comes from God alone, effectively dispelling any notion of human contribution.
