The glory of salvation belongs to God because it is solely His work that accomplishes redemption and reconciliation of sinners.
According to Ephesians 1:12, the ultimate purpose of salvation is to be to the praise of His glory. This means that all aspects of salvation, from election to redemption, are acts of God alone. Since salvation is initiated and completed by God without human contribution, He deserves all the glory. The plan of salvation showcases His wisdom, grace, and mercy, as it is God who draws sinners to Himself, forgives their sins, and secures their inheritance. Hence, believers glorify God in their salvation, recognizing that their faith and acceptance are a result of His sovereign grace and initiative.
