Can good deeds, donations, or a prayer earn salvation?

Ephesians 2 presents salvation as God’s gift through faith, not something earned by works. Good works belong to the transformed life rather than serving as payment. A donation cannot buy God’s favor, and a website must never trade spiritual assurance for money or an email address. Prayer can express repentance and faith, but reciting a formula does not mechanically guarantee salvation. The gospel points to Christ’s death and resurrection and invites trust in him. Our Meet Jesus page offers a voluntary prayer in that spirit and practical next steps without a gate. Honest questions and time for reflection are welcome.
