What does the Bible say about passive salvation?

Scripture highlights that salvation is not something we achieve through our actions, but rather it is something accomplished by God. In passages like Romans 8 and Ephesians 2, we see that we are dead in our sins and God makes us alive, illustrating our passivity in the work of salvation. Just as Boaz tells Ruth to lie still, we are encouraged to rest in the promises of God, allowing Him to do the work necessary for our redemption. This aligns with the doctrine of grace, where faith is a gift from God rather than an action on our part.
