What does the Bible teach about grace and salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible teaches that salvation is by grace alone through faith, not by works, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9.
Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states, 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' This fundamental truth articulates that grace is the means by which we are saved. It is a gift from God and cannot be earned through human effort or merit. Additionally, Romans 3:24 highlights this by saying we are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. Thus, grace is central to the Gospel message because it emphasizes God’s unmerited favor towards sinners, ensuring that our salvation is solely based on His work and not our own efforts.
