Why is believing that salvation is of the Lord important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Believing that salvation is of the Lord instills assurance of eternal security and reliance on God's grace, not human works.

Understanding that salvation is entirely of the Lord reinforces the Christian's assurance of eternal security in Christ. As described in 1 Peter 1:4-5, believers are kept by the power of God through faith. This means that the believer's standing before God does not depend on their actions but solely on God's grace. Furthermore, recognizing that salvation is God's work prevents reliance on personal merit, fostering a deeper appreciation for His mercy and love. This theological framework emphasizes that believers can confidently rest in their salvation, knowing it is sustained by divine power and grace rather than fluctuating human effort.
