How do we know God's grace is effective?

Answered in 5 sources

God's grace is effective because it leads to true transformation and is never in vain; it accomplishes the purpose for which it was given.

The effectiveness of God's grace is illustrated through the Apostle Paul's testimony of his conversion and life following it. In 1 Corinthians 15:10, Paul asserts that God's grace was not given in vain; instead, it spurred him to work diligently for the Lord. This reflects the idea that true grace is always operational in a believer’s life, leading to genuine acts of faith and obedience. Likewise, Romans 8:29-30 outlines the process of salvation as it pertains to the elect, emphasizing that those whom God predestined, He also called and justified. Therefore, God’s grace is not just a passive gift but an active, life-changing force that leads to sanctification and ultimately glorification, guaranteeing that it achieves its intended purpose.
