Why is salvation considered a gift from God?

Answered in 2 sources

Salvation is regarded as a gift because it cannot be earned or deserved; it is freely given through Christ.

The nature of salvation as a gift is emphasized in Romans 6:23, which states, 'For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.' This underscores that salvation comes from God's grace, not from human effort or merit. It highlights the doctrine of sola gratia, where God's unconditional love allows Him to extend salvation to His chosen people without any preceding works on their part. This glorious truth reminds us that we can do nothing to earn our salvation; instead, we must rely solely on Christ's accomplished work.
