How do we know salvation is through God's grace?

Answered in 4 sources

Salvation is a gift of God's grace, evidenced in Scripture where it states that we are saved through faith apart from works.

The doctrine of salvation by grace is firmly rooted in the teachings of Scripture, particularly in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves, it is the gift of God. This means that salvation is entirely apart from any efforts or works on our part; it is entirely God's doing. Additionally, Romans 10 highlights that faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ, underscoring that God's initiative in salvation precedes our faith. This emphasizes that grace, not human effort, is the source of our salvation, reinforcing the sovereign grace perspective that God alone saves the elect according to His purpose.
