How do we know that salvation comes by grace and not works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is declared to be by grace in Romans 11:6, where it asserts that if by grace, then it cannot be by works.

The determinative factor in salvation is the grace of God. Romans 11:6 clearly outlines that if salvation is by grace, it cannot also be by works, as they are mutually exclusive. Paul points out that if works were included in the means of salvation, grace would no longer be grace. This profound truth reinforces that God's sovereign choice to save sinners does not hinge upon human effort but solely on His grace, ensuring that no one can boast about their own deeds (Ephesians 2:8-9).
