What does the Bible say about who gets the glory in salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that all glory in salvation belongs to God, as He performs all the work necessary for redemption.
The Scripture consistently proclaims that God alone gets the glory in the work of salvation. Paul emphasizes this in Romans 11:33-36, stating that 'of Him and through Him and to Him are all things, to whom be glory forever.' Salvation is initiated, completed, and preserved solely by God's grace and power. This is evident in passages like Ephesians 2:8-9, where it's made clear that our salvation is 'not of works, lest any man should boast.' The divine nature of salvation means that any good work or faith we have is ultimately a result of God's action in our lives, thus making it impossible for the glory to fall on us.
