How do we know salvation is not earned through works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a gift from God that cannot be earned through works; the Bible emphasizes reliance on faith, not self-effort.

The doctrine of salvation by grace alone, as articulated throughout Scripture, emphasizes that no amount of human effort can secure our standing before God. Passages like Ephesians 2:8-9 affirm that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works, so that no one may boast. False religions often promote a different narrative, suggesting that through obedience or good deeds one can attain salvation. However, true salvation, as depicted in the parables and teachings of Jesus, reveals that it is only through His grace and mercy that we find healing and redemption. Thus, understanding that salvation is a divine gift helps steer clear of any false notions that suggest otherwise.
