What does the Bible say about grace alone?

Answered in 7 sources

The Bible teaches that grace alone is the unmerited favor of God, through which we are saved, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9.

Grace alone, or *sola gratia*, is a fundamental tenet of the Reformed faith, affirming that salvation is solely by God's grace and cannot be earned through any human effort or merit. In Ephesians 2:8-9, the Apostle Paul clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from ourselves, but is a gift from God. It underscores the belief that our redemption and standing before God are entirely dependent on His mercy and power rather than our works. This profound truth reflects the heart of the gospel, emphasizing that all glory belongs to God alone for our salvation.
