How do we know that salvation is by grace and not by works?
Answered in 50 sources
We know salvation is by grace through the teachings of Scripture, such as Galatians 3, which declares that no one can be justified by the works of the law.
The Apostle Paul, in Galatians 3, clarifies that those who rely on their works to achieve righteousness are under a curse, as no one can perfectly fulfill the law. Salvation cannot be earned or deserved; it is solely a gift from God through faith in Christ. This truth is essential for understanding the gospel message. It emphasizes that we cannot contribute anything to our salvation. Instead, we are justified by faith alone, which is a gift from God, ensuring that the glory of salvation belongs to Him alone.
