By the grace of God

Galatians 2:20-21
And the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God.

That our salvation—from beginning to end—is by the grace of God has always been a basic tenet of the faith once for all delivered to the saints.  I cannot imagine any “saint” down through church history who would have said otherwise.
