What does the Bible say about the role of works in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace alone through faith, without any works involved (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The Scriptures make it clear that any attempt to add works to the finished work of Christ leads to spiritual death. The Apostle Paul warns against this in Galatians, where he states that if we add to grace with our works, we nullify the gift of salvation. This is crucial for understanding sovereign grace theology, which emphasizes that we are justified by Christ alone and that any reliance on our works undermines the grace of God.
Scripture References: Ephesians 2:8-9, Galatians 5:4
