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

Answered in 6 sources

Salvation is solely a work of God, as indicated in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that it is by grace we are saved through faith, not of ourselves.

Ephesians 2:8-9 underscores that 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This scripture highlights the nature of salvation as a divine gift rather than a human achievement. God entirely initiates and completes salvation without any input from us. The Apostle Paul further clarifies in 1 Corinthians 1:30 that 'of Him are ye in Christ Jesus,' asserting that our position in Christ is a sovereign act of God. This firmly establishes that salvation is rooted in God's grace alone, emphasizing His sovereignty and the efficacy of Christ's redemptive work.
