How is salvation a work of God?

Salvation encompasses a divine orchestration where God is the primary actor. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace through faith, a gift from God, not of works, so no one can boast. This reinforces that salvation is not a result of human effort but an act of divine grace initiated by God. Throughout the New Testament, we see God’s sovereign hand in electing, redeeming, and preserving His people for His glory, ensuring that salvation ultimately points back to Him and not to individual works or decisions.
