How do we know that salvation is not by our own works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a work of God through Christ alone, not dependent on human actions or decisions.

The concept that salvation is through the finished work of Christ is a cornerstone of sovereign grace theology. Romans 3:23 states that all have sinned, and the only remedy for sin is through the sacrificial death of Jesus. False teachers often promote a works-based salvation, suggesting that individual effort can earn God's favor. However, true salvation reveals that it is solely by grace, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9, where Paul clarifies that salvation is a gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast. This teaching underscores the necessity of Christ's atonement and the grace given to those chosen by God.
