How do we know that salvation is entirely of God?

Answered in 9 sources

Scripture clearly delineates God's sovereignty in salvation, indicating that it is the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The assurance that salvation is entirely of God is rooted in passages like Ephesians 1:4-5 and Romans 8:28-30, which reveal God's eternal plan for salvation. The Father’s role in electing and predestining believers before the foundation of the world, the Son’s work of atonement on the cross, and the Spirit’s application of this salvation through regeneration all affirm that salvation is a divine initiative. Historically, Reformed theology upholds that human efforts or decisions play no part in the origination or securing of salvation, emphasizing the complete sufficiency of God's grace.
