How can we trust in God's grace for salvation?

Trusting in God's grace for salvation is rooted in the understanding that we are utterly dependent on Christ’s atoning sacrifice rather than our works. Ephesians 2:8-9 reminds us that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This grace is the unmerited favor of God, extended to sinners who cannot save themselves. As we acknowledge our need for Christ and His redemptive work on the cross, our faith assures us of our acceptance before God. This assurance comes from the conviction that it is Christ's merit, not our own, that reconciles us back to God and grants us eternal life.
