God's grace saves us through Christ, who accomplished our redemption by satisfying the law and paying for our sins (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The assurance of salvation by grace is embedded in the gospel message. Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This highlights that our salvation is entirely an act of divine grace and not based on our own merit or works. The finished work of Christ on the cross underscores that He fully satisfied the demands of the law, thus freeing us from the burden of trying to earn salvation through our actions. It is through His grace that we are drawn to trust in Him, leading us into communion with God.
