How do we know that salvation comes only through God's power?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely dependent on God's power as demonstrated in Ephesians 2:8, which tells us that faith is a gift from God.

The assurance of salvation through God's power is underpinned by scriptural truth. Ephesians 2:8 states, 'For by grace you are saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' This highlights that our ability to come to Christ is not from human initiative but through a supernatural calling from God Himself. In the account of Lazarus, we understand that though he had heard of Jesus before, it was the specific call from Christ that brought him from death to life. This exemplifies that God must create faith within us and initiate the saving process, as fallen humanity lacks the desire or capability to seek Him without divine intervention.
