How do we know we cannot earn our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that we cannot earn salvation by our works, but it is a gift of God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ.

The notion that we cannot earn our salvation is foundational in Reformed theology, supported by scriptures like Ephesians 2:8-9, which declares that we are saved by grace through faith, and that this is not from ourselves but the gift of God. The parable of the unjust steward reinforces that we, like him, waste the gifts God provides and have no grounds to earn righteousness on our own. Salvation is entirely by God's grace, as we are all sinners who cannot merit God’s favor through our actions or merits.
