How do we know salvation is by grace and not through works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is by grace alone, as Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.'

The doctrine of salvation by grace is grounded in multiple scriptural passages, most notably Ephesians 2:8-9. These verses emphasize that salvation is not the result of our own efforts or righteousness, but rather a free gift from God. It underscores the notion that no amount of good works can earn salvation; instead, it is given to those who believe in Christ. In the context of the sovereignty of God, this grace precludes any boasting from humanity, affirming that it is God who initiates and completes the work of salvation. Thus, understanding that our entry into the Kingdom is by grace reinforces the truth that it is God's sovereign choice that brings us into fellowship with Him.
