The key here is to understand that this salvation comes about only through the grace of God, not through the goodness of humanity.

This refers to the fact that the book contains within itself the same structure as the rest of the bible: Its first 39 chapters deal with sin and judgment while its final 27 chapters deal with the salvation that is God’s response to our sin. Isaiah is quoted or alluded to well over 100 times in the New Testament.
