What does the Bible say about salvation being by grace?

Answered in 6 sources

The Bible teaches that salvation is entirely by grace through faith, emphasizing its unmerited nature as evident in Ephesians 2:8-9.

Salvation is central to the Christian faith and is described throughout the Scriptures as a gift entirely by grace. Ephesians 2:8-9 highlights this truth, stating, "For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." This underscores that faith itself is not a work we produce, but rather a gift from God. The Holy Spirit awakens within us a desire for this salvation, illustrating that our dependency lies fully on God's grace and not our works. Hence, true salvation is rooted in the finished work of Christ alone, who satisfies the requirements of the law on our behalf.
