God's grace is demonstrated through His empowerment of believers to live righteously, as He fulfills the desires for good that He instills in their hearts.
The sufficiency of God's grace is a central theme in the life of a believer. In 2 Thessalonians 1:11-12, Paul prays that God would make them worthy of His calling and fulfill their every resolve for good by His power. This shows that it is God who empowers believers to accomplish what He has called them to do. Furthermore, we see in Ephesians 2:10 that we are created in Christ for good works. This indicates that God's grace not only saves us but also equips us for the tasks He has prepared in advance. Thus, our ability to live faithfully and fruitfully is a direct result of His sustaining grace in our lives.
