How do we know that we are saved by grace?

The assurance of our salvation by grace is rooted in Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly articulates that 'For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This passage emphasizes that salvation is not based on our efforts but is entirely a gift from God. Furthermore, Romans 5:1 tells us that having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. This peace and the assurance of our standing before God are made possible by the grace extended to us in Christ, establishing that our salvation does not depend on our works but on His perfect sacrifice.
