What does the Bible say about gaining favor with God?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that God's favor cannot be earned through human actions but is bestowed by His grace alone.

The Scriptures reveal that humanity cannot earn God's favor by adhering to the law or performing good deeds. This is illustrated in the story of Cain and Abel, where Abel's acceptance by God symbolizes a righteousness that comes through faith and grace rather than through personal merit. Throughout the Bible, it's emphasized that God's choice and the bestowal of favor depend on His promise and grace, not on any conditions we might fulfill. Understanding this is crucial for recognizing our utter dependence on God's goodness for salvation.
