# Ephesians 2:8-9 on Salvation **"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast."** (Ephesians 2:8-9, ESV) This passage teaches that salvation is entirely a gift from God, received through faith rather than earned through human effort or good works. It emphasizes that no one can claim credit for their salvation or boast about achieving it, since it comes solely from God's grace.
