How do we know grace is a free gift?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is a free gift as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9, highlighting that it is not of works lest anyone should boast.

Grace is fundamentally a free gift from God, which means it cannot be earned or deserved. Titus 3:7 reiterates this by stating that we are justified by His grace. If salvation came at a cost that we had to pay, it would no longer be gift but a wage for work done. This is affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9, where it states that we are saved by grace through faith, not as a result of works, thus ensuring that no one can boast about their own merit. Consequently, salvation rests entirely in the sovereign grace of God, emphasizing His initiative and decision in our rescue.
