What does the Bible say about human effort in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is not based on human efforts but solely on God's mercy.

According to scripture, salvation is not a result of our works but is entirely based on God's mercy and grace. As Paul states in Titus 3:5, 'not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us.' This emphasizes that human endeavor cannot influence or change God's ordained plan for salvation. Instead, true faith in Christ acknowledges our inability to earn God's favor and the necessity of relying solely on His grace for redemption.
Scripture References: Titus 3:5, Ephesians 2:8-9
