The Bible teaches that salvation is a gift from God, bestowed upon believers through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. As stated in Ephesians 2:8 and Titus 3:5, this grace is a free and unmerited favor, not earned by human works. Romans 6:23 reminds us that the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus. Through faith in Jesus, believers become new creations, as expressed in 2 Corinthians 5:17, and experience the blessing of God's presence and peace, as seen in the benediction of 2 Corinthians 13:14. This gracious gift is the foundation of the Christian faith.
