How do we know that salvation is truly a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible assures us that salvation is a work of God from beginning to end, reliant on His sovereign grace.

In the sermon, it is emphasized that salvation is entirely a divine work initiated and completed by God. The narrative of Joseph and his brothers reflects how God's choice to extend mercy is not based on human effort but on His sovereign will. The preacher notes that true humility and repentance come when we recognize our hopelessness and helplessness before Christ. This aligns with the biblical teaching that no one can come to the Father unless the Spirit draws them (John 6:44). The mention of God's sovereignty highlights that salvation is a gift granted to His elect, reinforcing the belief that it cannot be earned or deserved but is freely given by God's mercy.
