How do we know that salvation is a gift of grace?

Answered in 4 sources

The Scriptures affirm that salvation is not earned through works but is a gift from God, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9.

Salvation is presented in Scripture as a gift of grace that cannot be earned through human effort or adherence to the law. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God—not the result of works, so that no one may boast.' This underscores the sovereign grace theology that no one can achieve salvation through their own righteousness, but it is solely through believing in Christ and His finished work. This truth liberates believers from the oppressive fear of judgment that comes when one relies on their performance or compliance with the law.
