How do we know that salvation is solely through God?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is from God alone, as illustrated by the multitude in Revelation 7 who declare salvation to our God.

In Revelation 7, the multitude standing before the throne of God actively proclaims 'salvation to our God.' This declaration emphasizes that salvation is an act of God's grace and not based on human merit or works. The imagery reinforces the Reformed belief in total depravity, underscoring that no one seeks God apart from divine intervention. Ephesians 1:4-5 affirms God's initiative in salvation, having chosen believers in Christ before the foundation of the world. Therefore, the acknowledgment of salvation as solely belonging to God highlights His sovereignty and grace in the salvation process, eliminating any boasting in human works.
