Ephesians 2:8
“For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,”
«Por gracia han sido salvados mediante la fe… es el regalo de Dios» enseña que la salvación es enteramente un regalo de Dios, recibido por la fe, no ganado por buenas obras.

Two key words: grace (God’s unearned favor) and faith (the trust that receives it). Salvation comes by grace, through faith — not by our performance.
The next verse adds “not by works, so that no one can boast.” The design is to leave no room for pride: everything points back to God’s generosity, not our achievement.
If works don’t save, do they matter?
Yes — the very next verse (2:10) says we were created “for good works.” Works are the fruit of salvation, not its cause.
