Why does God's way of salvation oppose human logic?

The ways of God often challenge human reasoning. Natural man assumes that he can earn favor with God through good deeds, yet Scripture presents God's salvation plan as one rooted in grace. This is seen in Ephesians 2:1-3, where humanity is described as dead in sin, proving that we are incapable of contributing to our own salvation. The call to lean wholly on Christ, the author and finisher of our faith, rather than on our own understanding or efforts, reveals the opposite trajectory of God’s plan compared to human logic. Therefore, genuine faith acknowledges that it is God's transformative grace that brings us to the truth of salvation.
