What does it mean to be saved by faith?
Essere salvati per fede significa che siamo giustificati davanti a Dio confidando in Gesù, e non guadagnandolo con le opere. La fede è la mano vuota che riceve ciò che Dio dona gratuitamente in Cristo.

“Faith” in the Bible is trust — relying on Jesus and what he has done rather than on our own performance. We are not saved because our good outweighs our bad, but because we rest on Christ.
This is why the New Testament insists salvation is “not by works, so that no one can boast” (Ephesians 2:9). Works follow as the fruit of faith, but they are never the root of salvation.
Saving faith therefore changes everything and costs nothing: it is freely given, and it produces a transformed life of gratitude and obedience.
