How do we know grace is true?

Answered in 11 sources

The truth of grace is evidenced in Scripture, particularly in the actions and teachings of Jesus, which emphasize forgiveness and mercy.

We can know grace is true by examining its foundational presence in Scripture. The teachings and actions of Jesus, especially in parables like the one found in Matthew 18:21-35, illustrate grace as a divine principle. In this particular parable, the overwhelming grace shown to the servant who is forgiven reflects God's mercy towards sinners. The God who forgives an insurmountable debt calls His followers to extend that same forgiveness, thereby affirming the truth of grace as an essential doctrine in Christianity.
