"...so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His GRACE in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." (Ephesians 2:7)
Because the salvation of a sinner is by the GRACE of God, good works can have no part in their salvation.
"And since it is through God's kindness, then it is not by their good works. For in that case, God's grace would not be what it really is--free and undeserved." (Romans 11:6 NLT)
Yep, "free and underserved", a "gift" from God.
"For by Grace are you saved...the free gift of God is eternal life..." (Ephesians 2:8; Romans 6:23)
