What does the Bible say about how salvation is received?

The Bible teaches that salvation is received by faith and not through any works or deeds. In Romans 4:16, it states that the righteousness promised in the covenant of grace is of faith, ensuring the promise is certain to all believers, both Jews and Gentiles who share in the faith of Abraham. This is reinforced in Romans 3:24, which concludes that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law. Therefore, salvation is granted through believing in God rather than through doing.
