How do we know that salvation is entirely of the Lord?

Answered in 6 sources

Salvation is entirely of the Lord as depicted in Isaiah 53:1, which emphasizes that it is through His power alone that we are saved.

The sermon emphasizes that salvation is not dependent on human effort but is entirely the work of God. In Isaiah 53, the 'arm of the Lord' represents His saving power, which is fully manifested in Jesus Christ. Romans 3:24 asserts that we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. This doctrine aligns with the Reformed belief that God chooses whom He will save, as stated in Ephesians 1:4-5, where it is explained that He elected us before the foundation of the world. This reinforces the idea that our salvation rests solely upon God's will and power, rather than human merit.
