Why do works not save us according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that salvation is not of works, to prevent boasting and ensure humility before God.

Scripture repeatedly stresses that salvation is not based on works, as highlighted in Ephesians 2:9. By emphasizing that salvation is not of works, it underscores the truth that no one can claim merit before God. This foundational teaching promotes humility and reliance on Christ’s righteousness alone, rather than personal achievements or deeds. Throughout the New Testament, the danger of trusting in works for salvation is cautionary, reminding believers that grace, not merit, is the basis of their standing before God.
