Why is it important that salvation is a work of God?

Answered in 2 sources

It is vital because salvation being a work of God ensures its completeness and permanence, as God never does an incomplete work.

Understanding salvation as a work of God holds great significance for believers. According to Isaiah 43, God’s affirmation that He has redeemed His people highlights that salvation is not based on human effort but entirely on divine grace. In Colossians 2:10, we see, 'And ye are complete in him,' indicating that Christ's work on the cross was sufficient and perfect. Therefore, knowing that God accomplishes salvation grants us assurance that no one who has been called and redeemed by Him will ever be lost. This understanding is foundational to Reformed theology, emphasizing that salvation originates entirely from God’s will and purpose, reinforcing the believer’s trust in His sovereignty.
