How do we know grace alone is enough for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
Scripture affirms that salvation is by grace alone through faith, ensuring that our righteousness is not based on our works but on Christ's finished work.
The doctrine of grace alone speaks to the sufficiency of Christ's work for our salvation. It is articulated throughout the New Testament, especially in Hebrews and Ephesians. The writer of Hebrews stresses that believers must not return to the law for righteousness; instead, they should cling to the grace that Christ provides. Ephesians 1:4 confirms that God chose us in Christ before the foundation of the world, declaring that salvation is an act of divine grace, initiated and secured by God’s sovereign will rather than human effort. This assurance is vital for believers, allowing us to rest in the sufficiency of Christ’s sacrifice and grace.
