What does the Bible say about working for salvation?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God, not something we can earn through our works.

According to John 6:28-29, the question arises about what we must do to work the works of God. Christ responds that the only work God requires is to believe in Him whom He has sent. This reinforces the idea that salvation cannot be earned through human efforts or self-righteous deeds. In fact, Romans 4:4 states, 'Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt,' highlighting that no man can obligate God through their actions. Salvation rests solely on faith in Christ's finished work.
