Why is salvation considered a work of God alone?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is entirely a work of God, emphasizing that humans cannot contribute to their own salvation but are completely dependent on His grace.

Salvation is considered a work of God alone because it is rooted in His sovereign will and unmerited grace. According to Ephesians 2:8-9, we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from ourselves; it is the gift of God. The notion that salvation is entirely a divine work reminds us that we can do nothing to earn or achieve it. Just as Jonah could not escape the fish by his own strength, we too are incapable of saving ourselves from sin. True salvation is not about our efforts or vows; it is God who initiates, accomplishes, and secures our salvation through Christ’s finished work. His divine orchestration ensures that all glory is directed back to Him.
