Galatians 3:16-17, Now to Abraham and his seed were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy seed, which is Christ. And this I say, that the covenant, that was confirmed before of God in Christ, the law, which was four hundred and thirty years after, cannot disannul, that it should make the promise of none effect.

Romans 4:5, But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Romans 3:19-20, Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

Salvation has always been by grace.

Maybe we should start a thread to get every religion represented here definition of "saved". Saved is to be renewed to the image of God by his washing away of the guilt and penalty of sin and being reconciled to God, the judge of all the earth, by the blood of his own son, Jesus Christ. Therefore salvation is a NT doctrine because it could not have been accomplished until after Jesus willingly suffered our penalty, death, for us. God accepted his sacrifice on behalf of us all and has offered Life, The Spirit of Christ as his gift, to indwell us, to all who will seek reconciliation to God the Father through faith in his name. His name means Jehovah is salvation, therefore one must have him to be saved. There is no salvation, by grace, or any other way before Jesus died and rose again. Salvation depends on him.

I offer these three statements as proof.

Tit 3:4 But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace,

Consider the time line.

Re 1:5 And from Jesus Christ, [who is] the faithful witness, [and] the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,

Consider the time line.

1Jo 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.
11 And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son.
12 He that hath the Son hath life; [and] he that hath not the Son of God hath not life.

The grace of God the scriptures tells of is manifest in the son.
