How do we know God's grace is effective in salvation?

Answered in 6 sources

God's grace is effective in salvation as it is demonstrated through the transformative experiences of individuals like Æneas and Dorcas.

The effectiveness of God's grace in salvation is clearly illustrated through the lives of individuals such as Æneas and Dorcas, as seen in Acts 9. Æneas’s healing from paralysis signifies both physical and spiritual restoration, demonstrating that when God elects someone for salvation, His grace works powerfully and effectively in their lives. In the case of Dorcas, her faithfulness and good works not only serve those around her but also glorify God, affirming that even in her death, the work of grace continued as she was raised back to life. This emphasizes the biblical truth that those chosen by God will experience His grace in tangible ways, leading to transformation that inevitably results in belief and good works (Titus 2:14).
