Why is it said that salvation is of the Lord?

Answered in 3 sources

Salvation is of the Lord, meaning it originates with God and is accomplished solely through His grace.

The phrase 'salvation is of the Lord,' emphasized in Jonah 2:9, encapsulates the core of sovereign grace theology. It communicates that salvation is initiated, sustained, and completed by God alone. Human beings contribute nothing to their salvation; instead, it is entirely based upon God’s sovereign will and His redemptive work through Christ. This underscores the truth that one’s hope in salvation should not depend on personal efforts or achievements but rather on the perfect efficacy of Christ’s atoning sacrifice. Recognizing that salvation is of the Lord allows believers to humbly accept God’s grace and encourages a life of gratitude and devotion in response to His mercy.
