How do we know God's grace enables us to live a fruitful life?
Answered in 1 source
God's grace sustains believers, allowing them to live fruitfully and overcome sin through their union with Christ.
The assurance that God's grace enables a fruitful life comes from understanding the nature of grace and our relationship with Christ. The gospel teaches that while we were dead in our sin, God, in His mercy, quickened us by His grace (Ephesians 2:4-5). This grace not only brings initial salvation but continually empowers believers to live out their faith. As they abide in Christ, they draw strength from Him, which equips them to overcome sinful tendencies and bear spiritual fruit (Galatians 5:22-23). This ongoing reliance on God's grace is what keeps believers oriented toward growth and obedience in their walk of faith.
