# Ephesians 2:8-9 and Obedience **Ephesians 2:8-9 states:** *"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."* (ESV) This passage teaches that salvation comes through God's grace and faith, not through obedience or good works. While obedience is important in the Christian life as a response to salvation, these verses make clear that obedience cannot earn or contribute to our salvation, which is entirely God's gift.
