How do we know that salvation is a work of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a work of the Lord as seen in passages like Ephesians 2, which tells us that we are saved by grace through faith as a gift from God.

The assurance that salvation is entirely a work of the Lord stems from multiple scripture references, including Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our works, so that no one can boast. This aligns with the Reformed understanding of total depravity and irresistible grace, asserting that without Christ, we are spiritually dead and unable to choose salvation on our own. Therefore, our ability to believe is itself a gift from God, demonstrating His sovereign control in our salvation.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans 3:23-24
