What makes salvation a gift from God?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a gift from God because it is based solely on grace, not on human effort.

The nature of salvation as a gift underscores the foundational principle of grace within the Reformed tradition. It is emphasized that salvation is not achieved through personal merit or works, but is solely the result of God's mercy and Christ's finished work. This is articulated through the doctrines of imputation and justification, which show that righteousness is credited to believers based on faith in Christ, rather than their own actions. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that we are saved by grace through faith, making this salvation a divine gift, ensuring that all glory belongs to God.
