What does the Bible say about God's work for sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's work for sinners involves showing favor, setting them free, forgiving their sin, covering their iniquity, and turning away His wrath.

According to Psalm 85, God performs multiple works for sinners, which include dealing favorably with them, setting them free from captivity, forgiving their iniquities, covering their sins, and removing His wrath against them. Salvation is entirely initiated by God, as sinners are incapable of achieving it on their own. All of these works culminate in the person and work of Christ, who sacrifices Himself for the elect and ensures their redemption by fulfilling these divine acts on their behalf. These actions underscore the grace and mercy of God in the process of salvation, emphasizing that it is God's work in Christ that secures the sinner's salvation.
