How is salvation of the Lord through grace?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely of the Lord, achieved through His sovereign grace, and not by any effort or decision of man.

Salvation is distinctively portrayed in Scripture as entirely the work of the Lord, emphasizing His sovereignty and grace. Romans 9:16 declares that it is not of him who wills or runs, but of God who shows mercy. This indicates that human effort or decision-making plays no role in salvation, but rather, it is a divine calling according to God's purpose. The act of salvation is orchestrated and executed by God, as seen in both planning and realization, ultimately revealing that all aspects of salvation are imbued with grace. The believer's portion in this salvation comes through the Holy Spirit applying Christ’s redemptive work to their hearts, assuring that salvation is a complete and sovereign gift from God rather than a mere offer for acceptance or rejection.
