Good Works: Salvation Unattainable By

For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,

…not by works, so that no one can boast.

He has saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works, but by His own purpose and by the grace He granted us in Christ Jesus before time began.

He saved us, not by the righteous deeds we had done, but according to His mercy, through the washing of new birth and renewal by the Holy Spirit.
