How do we know God's grace is effective for salvation?
Answered in 3 sources
God's grace is effective for salvation because it immediately transforms the spiritually dead into living believers through faith in Christ.
The effectiveness of God's grace is evident in the way it changes the spiritually dead into living creatures in Christ. In John 5:24-25, Jesus says that the dead shall hear His voice and those who hear will live. This indicates that faith comes through hearing the Word of God, which is facilitated by God's grace. The transformation is instantaneous upon being called by God, illustrating the immediate and complete nature of salvation offered by grace, as found in Romans 8:1.
