Can good works lead to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

No, good works cannot lead to salvation; salvation is by grace through faith, not by works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The belief that good works can lead to salvation contradicts the foundational teaching of grace in Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 makes it clear that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works, so that no one can boast. While good works are an essential aspect of the Christian life, they do not earn us favor with God. Salvation is solely a gift from God, based on the completed work of Christ, and not on our merits.
