Can works save a person?

Answered in 1 source

No, works cannot save a person; salvation is by grace through faith alone in Christ, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9.

Works, whether good deeds or religious practices, cannot merit salvation. The Bible clearly teaches that salvation is by God's grace alone, received through faith in Christ. Ephesians 2:8-9 affirms that it's not by works that we are saved, as no one can boast about earning their salvation. While good works are the fruit of genuine faith, they do not contribute to one's standing before God. Authentic salvation results in a life of good works, but these works are an expression of gratitude and faith, not a means to salvation.
