How do we know that God saves us and we do not save ourselves?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely God's work, as affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that it is by grace through faith, not of ourselves.

The biblical view of salvation emphasizes that it is God's work from beginning to end. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly articulates that faith is a gift from God, not a product of our effort. In fact, Jonah 2:9 proclaims that salvation is of the Lord, highlighting that it cannot be a cooperative effort between God and man. Thus, God’s sovereign grace ensures that we are saved entirely due to His choosing and the work of Christ, rather than our efforts or decisions.
