Can a person be saved by their works?

Answered in 1 source

No, the Bible teaches that salvation cannot be earned through works; it is entirely by God's grace.

The notion that a person can earn salvation through works is fundamentally flawed, as highlighted in the passage from Matthew 19 where Jesus teaches that eternal life is not achievable by human effort. In verse 26, Jesus states, 'With men this is impossible, but with God all things are possible,' emphasizing that salvation is solely a work of divine grace. This truth is further corroborated by Romans 3:20, which asserts that by the works of the law, no flesh will be justified. Salvation is a gift from God, received through faith, not a product of human merit.
