How do we know God's grace is powerful?

The believer's journey from hatred of Christ to adoration is explicable only through the workings of sovereign grace. As Hawker poignantly reflects, we once stood in the same state of enmity against God and were, by nature, children of wrath. It is that very grace, which sovereignly overcomes our natural disdain for Christ, that allows us to perceive Him as lovely and precious. This transformative power is echoed in the experience of many believers who testify to their prior indifference or opposition to Christ, now recognizing His infinite value and love.
