Why can't salvation come from works?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation cannot come from works because no one can meet God's holy standard on their own.

Romans 10 makes it clear that attempts to achieve righteousness through works are futile. The law demands perfection (Romans 10:5), but because of our sinful nature, we are all incapable of fulfilling that demand. This means that any reliance on works leads to despair, as all our efforts fall short of God's glory. Instead, God offers salvation as a gift through faith in Christ, teaching us that it is not about what we do, but about what Christ has done on our behalf, fulfilling both justice and grace for His people.
