unearnable
Cannot be deserved
Something unearnable cannot be obtained through effort or merit—it must be given, inherited, or simply exists beyond reach.
Grace is often described as unearnable: Salvation is unearnable; it comes only through faith.
The word emphasizes that no amount of work or deserving will secure the thing in question.
