How do we know that salvation is a work of God alone?

Answered in 5 sources

Salvation is entirely a sovereign act of God, emphasizing His mercy and grace rather than human effort.

This is evident from Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Salvation is not achieved by our willing or running but is entirely of God who shows mercy, as stated in Romans 9:15-16. It is God's sovereign choice that determines who is saved, affirming that it is not based on our own merit but solely on His grace. Acts of faith and response come as a result of God's initial calling and working in a person's heart.
