The Bible teaches that saving grace is given by God through faith in Jesus Christ, as we see in Ephesians 2:8-9.
Saving grace, as described in Ephesians 2:8-9, is not something we earn or deserve; it is a gift from God. We are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that our faith is also a gift from God, ensuring that no one can boast about their works in salvation. This grace changes a person's heart, making them new creations in Christ, which enables them to perform good works that please God. Without this saving grace, our works cannot be good in His sight, as we are all born under sin and unable to produce good fruit unless transformed by God's grace.
