Why is salvation of the Lord?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is of the Lord because it is entirely His work, driven by His grace and mercy.

The principle that salvation is of the Lord encompasses the entirety of its process—eternal election, atonement through Christ, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit. As articulated in Jonah 2:9, the proclamation that 'salvation is of the Lord' underscores that humans cannot contribute to their salvation; it is solely an act of God's grace. This reality is foundational to Reformed theology, reinforcing the belief that God the Father elects, God the Son redeems, and God the Holy Spirit applies the work of salvation to the hearts of the elect. This ensures that salvation is entirely a work of divine grace, leaving no room for human merit.
