What does it mean that salvation is a work of God alone?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely a divine work, free from human contributions or merit.

The assertion that salvation is a work of God alone underscores the Reformed perspective that none can contribute to their salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that we are saved by grace through faith, and this not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast. This foundational truth prevents any notion of human autonomy in salvation and emphasizes dependency on God's grace. Salvation is a holistic act of God, encompassing election, calling, justification, and sanctification, all grounded in the person and work of Christ. It highlights that believers must attribute every aspect of their salvation to God’s sovereign grace and thus encourages a posture of gratitude and worship.
