How do we know that God’s salvation is not based on our works?

Answered in 1 source

God's salvation is rooted in His finished work, demonstrating that it is not based on our efforts but solely on Christ's sacrifice.

Throughout Scripture, the message of salvation consistently points to God's initiative rather than human effort. The sermon highlights that the cry of false religion urges individuals to work for their salvation, while the true gospel calls us to be still and trust in God's work. This is epitomized in the finality of Christ's declaration on the cross, stating, 'It is finished.' Thus, salvation is a gift granted to us through Christ’s righteousness and sacrificial death, emphasizing that our own works cannot contribute to our standing before God. Instead, true salvation rests on faith in His completed work, where our effort is to believe and trust.
