Salvation is termed 'the Lord's doing' because it is entirely God's initiative and grace without human merit.
According to the sermon, salvation is fundamentally the Lord's doing, rooted in His initiative and sovereign grace. Scripture affirms this truth in passages such as Romans 8, where it outlines that all things work according to God's purpose for those He has called. The repetitive language of God's actions—like electing, redeeming, and justifying—emphasizes that salvation is not an achievement of man, but a divine orchestration through Christ, who purged our sins without our help. By recognizing this, believers can rest in the assurance that their standing before God is secured by Christ alone, thus freeing them from the burden of self-righteousness.
