How does God save sinners according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

God saves sinners by grace through faith, which begins with humility and recognizing our need for Him.

God's method of saving sinners is a work of grace that begins with humbling those who are proud. Naaman's story illustrates this beautifully: he had to come to terms with his leprosy, which symbolizes sin, before receiving healing. According to Ephesians 2:8-9, '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 passage reflects the Reformed understanding of salvation, emphasizing God’s sovereign grace in bringing us low, revealing our need, and lifting us up through faith in Christ. The process requires recognizing our helplessness and God’s unmerited favor in Christ.
