Salvation is by grace alone as taught in the Bible, particularly in Romans 3:24 which states that sinners are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
The doctrine of salvation by grace alone is strongly supported by scriptural references such as Romans 3:24, stating that believers are justified freely by God's grace through the redemption found in Christ Jesus. This underscores the belief that salvation is not based on human works or merits but is a gift offered solely through Christ's atoning sacrifice.
Paul vehemently argues against the notion of works-based righteousness throughout his epistles, emphasizing that no amount of human effort can satisfy God's perfect standard. In Galatians 3:10, he points out that those who attempt to be justified by the law are under a curse, reinforcing the idea that grace, rather than legal observance, is the only avenue to redemption. The simplicity of the gospel is thus anchored in the free gift of grace that God extends to His elect, ensuring that salvation magnifies His glory and grace rather than human ability.
