How do we know that salvation is by God's grace and not by human decision?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a product of God's grace; it's the sovereign act of God, not based on human will or effort.

In understanding salvation, it becomes clear that human decision plays no role in its initiation; rather, it is solely dependent on God's grace and purpose. Romans 9 teaches that not all of Israel is of Israel, meaning the true children of God are those chosen by His sovereign will, not simply by physical lineage or human endeavor. This underlines the biblical doctrine that without divine intervention, no one would choose to follow Christ, as all are spiritually dead in their sins. This is affirmed throughout scripture, emphasizing that belief itself is a gift from God, showcasing His power and grace.
