How do we know that salvation is completely God's work?

The belief that salvation is entirely dependent on God is central to Reformed theology. As stated in the sermon, salvation is conditioned 'upon the bloody death of the Lord Jesus,' which underscores the essential role of Christ's redemptive work. This doctrine aligns with the teaching that God initiated and executed the plan of salvation before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5).

The Scriptures assert that all aspects of salvation, from election to redemption, are orchestrated by God. Ephesians 1:11 states, 'In whom also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated according to the purpose of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.' This affirmation establishes that the entirety of our salvation is not contingent upon human effort or decision but rather rests firmly in God’s sovereign grace, ensuring that all who are called will come to Christ.
