What does the Bible say about boasting in our salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that boasting in our own works or salvation is excluded, as salvation is entirely a gift of God's grace and not based on our merits.

In Romans 3:27, the Apostle Paul explicitly declares, 'Where is boasting then? It is excluded.' This signifies that no individual has a ground to boast in their accomplishments or worthiness when it comes to salvation. The law of faith clearly teaches that salvation is a gift from God, by grace alone, through faith. Consequently, all boasting pertains only to the work of Christ, who redeemed us through His blood. This truth is affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, where it emphasizes that we are saved by grace through faith, and not of ourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest any man should boast. Thus, believers are called to humble themselves and acknowledge that their salvation rests solely on Christ's finished work.
