How do we know that grace is the foundation of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Scripture asserts that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our works, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9.

The foundation of salvation is grounded in God's sovereign grace, as explicitly articulated in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This grace is not contingent upon human effort or merit but is a sovereign act of God who elects His people before the foundation of the world (Ephesians 1:4-5). Thus, if salvation hinged on human ability, no one could be saved, reflecting the necessity of grace as a gift freely given by God.
