How do we know God's grace is sufficient for all?

Answered in 3 sources

The story of the Canaanite woman demonstrates that God's grace reaches all, regardless of background or sin, emphasizing that His mercy is freely given to the elect.

The account of the Canaanite woman illustrates the boundless nature of God's grace. Despite her being from a cursed race and initially facing rejection from Jesus, her persistent faith led to her daughter's healing. This narrative reinforces the doctrine that God's grace is not limited by ethnic or personal background, and it depends solely on His sovereign will. Romans 9:16 states that it does not depend on human desire or effort but on God's mercy—this is vividly embodied in the woman's encounter with Christ, who came to seek and save the lost. The assurance of grace for the elect assures all believers that no one is beyond the reach of God's love and salvation.
