An excerpt from “gotquestions.org” entitled, “How Can Salvation Be Not Of Works When Faith Is Required?” states: “Grace is God’s giving us something we cannot earn or deserve. According to Romans 11:6, “works” of any kind destroys grace—the idea is that a worker earns payment, while the recipient of grace simply receives it, unearned. Since salvation is all of grace, it cannot be earned. Faith, therefore, is a non-work. Faith cannot truly be considered a “work,” or else it would destroy grace. (See also Romans 4—Abraham’s salvation was dependent on faith in God, as opposed to any work he performed.)” he article may be viewed at: How can salvation be not of works when faith is required?
