How can a person obtain this salvation or saving grace? Ephesians 2:8-9 says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith. In addition to the insufficiency of works to obtain salvation, God's grace has provided a way for eternal life through salvation in Jesus Christ. Isaiah 64:6 teaches "all our righteous deeds are like a polluted garment." Instead, "the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it-the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe" (Romans 3:21-22). No amount or level of human accomplishments is good enough to obtain salvation. "For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin" (Romans 3:20).
This is based on a variety of biblical principles that emphasize salvation as a free gift of God's grace rather than something that a person earns through good deeds or actions.
In Christian discussions, the phrase "saving grace" is generally used to refer to God's grace to lead a person to salvation.
