How do we know salvation is a gift of grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation being a gift of grace is supported by Scripture, underscoring that it is given without conditions and reflects God's nature.

The confidence that salvation is a gift of grace rests on the consistent teaching of Scripture that emphasizes God’s initiative and the absence of human merit in the process of redemption. John 3:16 declares that God loves the world and gives His only Son so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life. This indicates that the act of salvation is rooted in God’s generous, unconditioned love. Furthermore, Romans 11:6 makes it explicitly clear that if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace. This dichotomy displays that salvation can only be understood as a gracious act of God rather than a reward for human effort.
