How do we know that salvation is God's work from beginning to end?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely God's work, as it begins with His electing love and culminates in glorification through Christ's sacrifice.

The Bible clearly presents salvation as a divine initiative beginning with God's electing love. As seen in the sermon, God chose to set apart a specific people for Himself, as indicated in Isaiah 14:1. This act of choosing is not contingent on human actions but is a testament to God's sovereignty and grace. Furthermore, Scripture consistently illustrates that Christ's death and resurrection secure salvation for His elect. Ephesians 1:4-5 underlines this by stating, 'He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world...' highlighting that every aspect of salvation – from election to justification and sanctification – is orchestrated by God for His glory. Since God is the architect of salvation, it is His work from beginning to end.
