How do we know grace is central to the Christian faith?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace is central to the Christian faith as it is the unconditional love and favor bestowed by God through Christ, who redeems us without any merit of our own.

Grace is the bedrock of the Christian faith, highlighted repeatedly in scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 articulates that we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that this is not from ourselves but is the gift of God. Our relationship with God is entirely rooted in His grace, showcased in the covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, which was based on God's sovereign choice and mercy rather than human effort or worthiness. This grace transforms us, enabling us to live as new creations in Christ, driven by gratitude and love for the one who saved us.
