We know salvation is a gift because the Bible consistently teaches that it is obtained through God's grace, not our works.
The biblical teaching on salvation emphasizes that it is entirely of grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 states that we are saved by grace and not through our works, making it clear that salvation is a divine gift. Romans 3:24 also explains that we are justified freely by His grace. The core of salvation rests in the reality that we are undeserving of such an incredible gift; it underscores God's mercy and love as the source of our redemption through Christ, who gave His life for us.
