How do we know God's grace is unearned?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is unearned as it is given freely, not based on works or human effort.

The concept of unearned grace is integral to understanding salvation. According to Romans 11:6, if grace is based on works, it is no longer grace. This underscores the biblical teaching that salvation cannot be achieved through human merits or religiosity, but is instead a gracious gift from God. Naaman's desperate attempt to earn healing through gifts was met with the straightforward command to wash in the Jordan—this illustrates that true healing, like true salvation, requires humble acceptance rather than performance. In recognizing that salvation is a divine gift, we acknowledge the biblical truth that we cannot earn God's favor; rather, it is bestowed through faith in Jesus Christ alone.
