How do we know that salvation belongs to the Lord?
Answered in 4 sources
Salvation belongs to the Lord because, as Psalm 3 states, it is God who acts on behalf of His people, and it's by His grace and sovereignty that we are saved.
Psalm 3 concludes with the poignant declaration, 'Salvation belongeth unto the Lord.' This truth is rooted in the Reformed understanding that salvation is entirely a work of God. It underscores the belief that human merit and free will have no bearing on our salvation. Instead, it's God’s grace that quickens, sustains, and ultimately saves His people. Throughout scripture, we see that God's electing love and powerful intervention are the foundations of salvation, which assures believers that their standing before God is not based on their efforts but solely on His sovereign will and grace.
