How do we know we are saved by grace and not by works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is by grace through faith and not of works, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9 (Romans 6:17).

The certainty of salvation by grace and not by works is grounded in the doctrine of God's electing grace and the inborn inability of man to achieve righteousness on his own. Romans 6 teaches that believers, having been saved by God's grace, obey from the heart, reflecting true faith. This obedience is the outcome of salvation rather than the cause of it. Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces that salvation is a gift from God, not dependent on human effort, ensuring that no one can boast about their works, thereby highlighting God's sovereign grace.
