How do we know God's grace is a gift?

Answered in 3 sources

God's grace is a gift, as seen in the account of Noah, who found grace before doing any righteous acts.

In the narrative of Noah, it is clear that God's grace is not an offer contingent upon human merit, but a sovereign gift bestowed upon Noah by God's will. Genesis 6:8 states, 'But Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord,' demonstrating that his justification and righteousness came after receiving grace, not before. This aligns with Ephesians 2:8-9, which underscores that salvation is by grace through faith and not as a result of works. Therefore, grace is a divine gift, unearned and freely given, mirroring God's choice to save His people through Christ, the ultimate manifestation of grace.
