What does it mean that salvation is from God?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation being from God means that the entire process of redemption is initiated and completed by the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

The concept that salvation is from God encapsulates the role of each person of the Godhead in the redemption of believers. The Father planned salvation and sent the Son, as seen in John 3:16, where it states that God gave His only begotten Son. The Son accomplished salvation through His life, death, and resurrection, ensuring that believers could be reconciled to God. Lastly, the Holy Spirit is actively involved in applying that salvation by drawing sinners to faith and giving them new life. This Trinitarian understanding of salvation emphasizes that it is wholly God's work and not of human merit or effort, thus glorifying His grace and sovereignty.
