How does salvation work according to Reformed theology?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is solely the work of God, granted by grace through faith, as expressed in Ephesians 2:8-9.

In Reformed theology, salvation is viewed as a sovereign act of God's grace, grounded in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.' This affirms that human effort cannot contribute to salvation; it is entirely a gift from God. The atoning work of Christ on the cross is foundational, where He ransomed His people, as seen in John 10:15, ensuring that all whom the Father has given Him will come to faith. The Holy Spirit plays an integral role in applying this salvation, awakening the spiritually dead to new life and enabling them to respond to the gospel. Thus, all glory for salvation belongs to God alone.
