How do we know God's grace is unmerited?

Answered in 2 sources

God's grace is unmerited because it is based solely on His election and not on any human merit or action.

Grace, by definition, is unmerited favor, meaning that it cannot be earned or deserved. In the context of election, God's choice of individuals for salvation is made without consideration of their actions or righteousness. This is clearly shown in Romans 9:15-16, where Paul states, 'I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.' Hence, our coming to faith is a product of God's mercy rather than our own effort, reinforcing the idea that all glory belongs to God alone.
