Does the Bible require works for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is by faith alone, not by works, as emphasized in Romans 10.

Salvation in the Bible is conveyed as being by faith alone, apart from works. Romans 10 clearly delineates that salvation is confessing Jesus as Lord and believing in His resurrection—actions rooted in faith rather than human effort. Paul emphasizes that it is not one's law-keeping that leads to righteousness, but faith in Christ, who fulfilled the law for believers. This distinction is crucial as it underscores the grace of God in salvation, safeguarding against legalism and inviting a faith that fully relies on Christ's finished work.
