How do we know that God's initiative in salvation is true?

Answered in 1 source

God's initiative is shown through biblical accounts where He seeks and saves the lost, confirming that salvation is by His will.

The account of Mephibosheth being fetched by David highlights that it was David who took the initiative to seek him out, paralleling God's grace in salvation. In the Gospel of John, Jesus states in John 6:44 that no one can come to Him unless the Father draws them, which reinforces that God is the one initiating salvation. Romans 9:16 expresses this truth clearly: 'It is not of him that wills, nor of him that runs, but of God that shows mercy.' Thus, Scripture collectively confirms that salvation is solely God's work.
