What does the Bible say about salvation through grace?
Answered in 11 sources
The Bible teaches that salvation is a sovereign work of God through His grace, culminating in the finished work of Christ.
Scripture emphasizes that salvation is entirely the result of God's unmerited favor, as illustrated in Ephesians 2:8-9 where it states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' Salvation is through the sacrificial death of Christ, who bore the sins of His people, as stated in 1 Corinthians 15:3, 'Christ died for our sins.' This precious grace highlights both the seriousness of sin and the glorious remedy provided through Christ's expiation. Our hope lies in the everlasting covenant of grace ordered by God for His elect, ensuring their salvation is entirely secure in Christ's righteousness.
