If a person works for eight hours a day, gets his payment, then he is a wage. If a person competes with the opponent and handles a trophy, then that award. If a person serves for a long time and gets proper recognition, then he is a reward. But one person is unable to pay; He can not win the prize and he is not worthy of reward, and he also gets a gift if it is grace. Salvation is not a wage, nor is this a prize, nor is it a reward. Therefore salvation is called free gift which is found only by grace.
Paul explicitly states, "Because by faith you have been saved by grace, and not by yourselves, it is the gift of God - not by works, and no man will boast" (Ephesians 2: 8-9).
