How do we know that salvation is by grace through faith?
Answered in 4 sources
Salvation is by grace through faith, as Ephesians 2:8-9 states, emphasizing that it is a gift from God, not based on our works.
Ephesians 2:8-9 powerfully articulates the doctrine of salvation by grace through faith: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This passage reinforces the truth that our salvation is entirely dependent on God's mercy and not our own efforts or decisions. On numerous occasions, the preacher stresses that it is not our will but God’s will that brings us into salvation, affirming that it is His choice and grace that dictate our standing before Him. All God's children recognize their inability to earn salvation and rejoice in the unmerited favor of God, relying solely on the completed work of Christ for their redemption.
