How do we know grace is central to the gospel?

Answered in 2 sources

Grace is central to the gospel because it emphasizes salvation not based on works, but as a gift from God that requires faith in Jesus Christ.

The centrality of grace in the gospel is proclaimed throughout Scripture, illustrating how salvation is a divine gift rather than an achievement of human effort. As seen in Luke’s account, Jesus astounded His listeners by preaching the true gospel message, one that declared their need for a Savior and exposed the bankruptcy of their works-based religion. In Isaiah 55:10, the Lord describes how His word accomplishes His purposes, emphasizing that His grace is active in fulfilling divine promises. Moreover, true grace challenges the self-righteousness that often arises from adherence to religious traditions, revealing that it is through faith in Christ alone that one finds salvation.
