# Ephesians 2:8-9 and Judgment Ephesians 2:8-9 states: "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast" (NIV). This passage teaches that salvation comes through God's grace alone, not through human works or merit, which means believers will not face judgment for salvation based on their performance. Since salvation is a gift received by faith rather than earned by deeds, no one can claim credit or stand condemned for failing to achieve it through their own efforts.
