How do we know that salvation is possible with God?

Answered in 2 sources

Jesus teaches that what is impossible for man is possible with God, affirming our salvation solely relies on His grace.

In Matthew 19:26, we find Jesus stating, 'With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.' This underscores the Reformed understanding of total depravity — that apart from God's initiative, salvation is unattainable for sinners. When we realize our own inability to achieve righteousness, we come to see that it is through God's sovereign grace alone that salvation is granted. Thus, our confidence in salvation lies not in our efforts but in the redemptive work of Christ and the mercy bestowed upon us by God.
