Why can't good works save us?

Answered in 1 source

Good works cannot save us because salvation is solely by grace through faith, not of works.

According to the Reformed perspective rooted in Ephesians 2:9, 'Not of works, lest any man should boast,' emphasizes that human efforts cannot achieve salvation. Salvation is a work of God alone, initiated and completed by Him. This theological understanding underlines that while good works may be the evidence of a transformed life in Christ, they cannot contribute to our salvation which is completely a gift from God; thus, the focus must remain on faith in Christ alone as the means of salvation.
