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

The sovereignty of God in salvation is a core tenet of Reformed theology, as seen in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This underscores that our ability to heed God’s call and to come to Christ is initiated and enabled by Him. Throughout the sermon, the preacher emphasizes that left to our own devices, we would remain in rebellion, emphasizing that it is God who effectively calls and enables us to respond.
