How do we know God's grace is central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is central to salvation, as Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that salvation is a gift from God, not a result of human effort.

Ephesians 2:8-9 states, 'For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.' This passage highlights that salvation cannot be earned but is a divine gift, evidencing God's grace. The historic Reformed perspective asserts that God's grace is irresistible and transformative, enabling individuals who were once unwilling to receive faith and repentance. The understanding of grace as unmerited favor underscores its necessity in the gospel.
