Salvation is entirely of grace, as God's choosing and justifying work is independent of human effort.
The assurance that salvation is all of grace is reflected in passages such as Ephesians 2:8-9, which declares, '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.' This emphasizes that our salvation is a gift from God and not of our own doing. Additionally, Scripture emphasizes that Christ's redemptive work fulfills all that is necessary for salvation, assuring us that our standing before God is based solely on His grace and mercy, not on our works.
