God's intervention is crucial in salvation because it is through His grace that we are drawn to Christ and transformed.
The necessity of God's intervention in salvation reflects the biblical truth that human effort alone cannot produce spiritual rebirth or understanding. As Paul notes in Colossians 2, the gospel reveals the mystery of God's work in the lives of believers, which includes His intervening grace that leads to faith. Salvation is not a result of human will but rather the effective calling of God that brings individuals out of darkness into light. This intervention assures us that our salvation hinges on God's sovereignty and not our ability, highlighting the dependence of all believers on divine grace for true transformation and assurance.
