Salvation is presented as God's gift, grounded in Christ's covenant faithfulness rather than in human merit or the act of believing. Paul's language in Ephesians 2 is read as emphasizing that grace and faith are both rooted in what Christ has already done.

The Argument

  • Paul says salvation is a gift of God, not the result of works.
  • Pistis is treated primarily as Christ's faithfulness and obedience unto death.
  • The saving basis is Christ's completed covenant loyalty, not human performance.

Key Scriptures

  • Ephesians 2:4-10
  • Galatians 2:16
  • Galatians 2:20
  • Romans 3:22

Over to You

If salvation rests on Christ's faithfulness (pistis), not your believing (pisteuō), who's saved? And who isn't?
