What does the Bible teach about the relationship between grace and salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that grace is the basis of salvation, as we are saved not by works but by grace through faith.

According to Ephesians 2:8-9, ‘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.’ This passage clearly indicates that salvation is a work of God's grace, unearned and entirely given to those who believe in Christ. Grace operates independently of human actions or merits, showcasing God's sovereignty in redemption. The relationship between grace and salvation is beautifully illustrated in the story of Mephibosheth, where David’s kindness was a picture of how God approaches us, not based on our worthiness but due to His covenant promises. This foundational truth of salvation being by grace encourages believers to rest in confidence of their standing before God, knowing it is secure in Christ’s finished work.
