Why is it significant that salvation is God's work?

Answered in 1 source

The significance lies in the truth that salvation is entirely wrought by God, ensuring that none can boast (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The truth that salvation is God's work is crucial in Reformed theology, emphasizing that it is by grace alone through faith that we are saved, and this not of ourselves; it is the gift of God (Ephesians 2:8-9). This ensures that our salvation rests solely on God's sovereign initiative and power rather than human effort. Thus, all glory belongs to Him, as no one can boast about earning their salvation. This underscores the total dependence of believers upon God’s grace and affirms that the transformative work of the Gospel is ultimately completed by God, not man.
