Scripture

Ephesians 2:8-9

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.

Ephesians 2:8-9, BSB

Grace excludes boasting

Paul grounds salvation in God's grace and gift, which frames Christian answers to any system that makes final acceptance rest on human merit.
