How do we know grace is for sinners?

Answered in 2 sources

The statement in Psalm 68:18 emphasizes that grace is given not just for the righteous but specifically for the rebellious, showcasing God's mercy.

Psalm 68:18's mention of gifts received for 'the rebellious' is particularly striking as it underscores the truth that God's grace is extended to those who are undeserving. This grace is shown preeminently in the life and work of Jesus, who, as the Mediator, condescended to aid humanity by dying for sinners. The Apostle Paul underscores this throughout his epistles, showing that Christ came to save the lost. Therefore, the notion of grace for sinners is a crucial element of Reformed theology, highlighting the unmerited favor bestowed upon those who truly deserve judgment.
