Scripture clearly states that salvation is the work of God alone, as seen in Isaiah where His own arm brings salvation.
In Isaiah 59:16, it is stated, 'therefore his arm brought salvation unto him,' indicating that salvation is solely God's initiative and action. This emphasizes that God's hand is not shortened that it cannot save; rather, He Himself undertakes to provide salvation for His people. The righteousness of God sustains the eternal plan of redemption, proving that salvation cannot be achieved through human effort. Through Christ's sacrificial work, God accomplishes salvation, and it is through Him that believers are reconciled to God, affirming His classically sovereign grace.
