What does the Bible say about salvation being of grace?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that salvation is entirely by God's grace, not by human works (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The Scriptures emphasize that salvation is a work of God, initiated by His grace and not by our efforts. This is highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9, where Paul states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. The intrinsic goodness of salvation lies solely in God Himself, as there is none good but God. Therefore, the grace of God is the foundation upon which all of salvation stands, underscoring the sovereign grace theology that teaches God acts unilaterally in the rescue of sinners, which Peter affirms in Acts 15:11: 'We believe that we shall be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus.'
