How do we know that salvation is entirely by God's grace?
Answered in 2 sources
Salvation is by God's grace alone, as it is not a joint effort between God and the believer, but solely the work of God.
The Bible emphasizes that salvation is the work of the Lord, reaffirming that it is not a joint effort between God and man. Romans 11:5 indicates that the election of grace is the basis for God’s saving action, ensuring that salvation depends solely on His sovereign choice rather than human initiative. Furthermore, passages like Ephesians 2:8-9 underline that grace is a gift from God, not a result of works, allowing no room for boasting. This reinforces the Reformed understanding that God alone is the author and finisher of faith, highlighting His mercy and the totality of His grace in the process of salvation.
