# Ephesians 2:8-9 and Covenant **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 the new covenant in Christ is based entirely on God's grace rather than human merit or works. Salvation is God's unilateral gift through faith, emphasizing that the covenant relationship between God and believers is initiated and maintained by divine grace alone, preventing any human boasting and highlighting God's sovereign love.
