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

Answered in 345 sources

God's grace is sufficient because it is offered freely according to His purpose, as shown in 2 Timothy 1:9 and illustrated by the story of a condemned woman who received mercy from Jesus.

The sufficiency of God's grace for salvation is rooted in His sovereign choice and purpose, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:9, which highlights that God saves us not based on our works, but according to His grace. The story of the woman caught in adultery vividly reflects this grace. Condemned according to the law, she receives forgiveness from Christ, who does not condemn her but instead calls her to a transformed life. This illustrates that regardless of our sins, God's grace is greater, and His will is to redeem those He has chosen. The assurance of His grace leads us to faith and repentance, grounding our complete reliance on Christ's work for salvation.
