What is the meaning of being saved by grace?

Answered in 1 source

Being saved by grace means that our salvation is a gift from God, not based on our works (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The doctrine of salvation by grace is a foundational concept in Reformed theology, highlighting that salvation is entirely God's initiative and work. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this faith is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This underscores the sovereignty of God in the salvation process, as it is not dependent on human effort or merit. Recognizing that we are spiritually dead in our sins, grace becomes the means through which God imparts new life, enabling us to respond in faith and repentance. Understanding this doctrine liberates us from the burden of striving for acceptance and allows us to rest in the sufficiency of Christ's work on our behalf.
