What does the Bible say about human responsibility in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible does not affirm human responsibility for salvation, emphasizing instead God's sovereignty and grace.

The concept of human responsibility in salvation is often misunderstood. In the view of sovereign grace theology, humans do not have any inherent ability or duty to save themselves, as salvation is wholly the work of God. Scripture emphasizes that humans are completely dependent on God's grace for salvation, as seen in passages like Galatians 1:6 where Paul speaks of a 'different gospel' that suggests human effort plays a role in salvation. Therefore, while people are accountable for their sins, the notion of human responsibility to achieve salvation is misleading.
