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

Answered in 9 sources

Scripture affirms that our salvation is God's work, as seen in Colossians 1:12-14 where Paul describes God as the one who qualifies and redeems us.

The Apostle Paul explicitly teaches that it is God who has made us meet or qualified for the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). He reinforces that this deliverance and translation into the kingdom of Christ is an act of God, not dependent on our actions or righteousness. Ephesians 2:8-9 reiterates this truth: by grace we are saved through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. Thus, the certainty of our salvation rests solely on God’s sovereign will and not on our efforts.
