What does the Bible say about who gets the glory in salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that all glory in salvation belongs to Jesus Christ, as He alone finished the work of redemption.

In Hebrews 5:4-5, we see that Christ did not glorify Himself as a high priest; instead, His glory came from the Father. The essence of true salvation is that it directs all praise and thanksgiving to God for the work of salvation. If our salvation points to anything other than Christ's finished work, then it is false. Only Christ, through His blood and righteousness, is deserving of glory, as He completed the work of redemption on behalf of His people.
