# Ephesians 2:8-9 on Eternal Life **Ephesians 2:8-9 (ESV):** *"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."* This passage teaches that eternal life (salvation) is received entirely through God's grace as a free gift, accessed by faith alone, not by human effort or good works. The text emphasizes that salvation cannot be earned or achieved through personal merit, eliminating any grounds for human boasting and highlighting God's generous, undeserved favor as the sole source of eternal life.
