Redeemedbasic
According to Ephesians 2:8–9, salvation is earned through personal good works.
Answer
False
Explanation
The chapter quotes Ephesians 2:8–9 to say that salvation is by grace through faith, is God’s gift, and is **not of works**. It argues that people cannot earn redemption through conduct and must receive the gift Christ provides. The statement reverses that teaching.\n\n**Key takeaway:** In the chapter’s account, salvation is received as a gift rather than earned.\n\n**Glossary:**\n- **Grace**: God’s favor, presented in the passage as the basis of salvation.\n- **Faith**: Trust through which the gift is received.
