# Ephesians 2:8-9 on Grace **"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."** (Ephesians 2:8-9, NIV) This passage teaches that salvation comes entirely through God's grace as a free gift, received through faith rather than earned through human effort or good works. Paul emphasizes that because salvation is entirely God's doing and not our own achievement, no one can boast or take credit for it.
