How do we know that salvation is entirely from God?
Answered in 2 sources
Scripture asserts that salvation belongs to the Lord alone, as seen in multiple psalms emphasizing that it is His election and mercy.
Throughout Scripture, particularly in Psalms, we see a consistent theme that salvation is exclusively God's doing. For instance, Psalm 3:8 states, 'Salvation belongeth unto the Lord,' indicating that it is neither earned nor chosen by us but entirely given by God. Ephesians 2:8-9 echoes this sentiment, declaring that we are saved by grace through faith, not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This reinforces the understanding that even the faith to believe is itself a gift from God. The understanding and appreciation of our salvation being solely from God drives a sense of gratitude and recognition of His profound grace in our lives.
