How do we know grace is foundational in the Christian faith?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is foundational because, as the Bible indicates, all believers receive salvation through grace alone, not through works.

Grace is at the core of the Christian faith as Ephesians 2:8-9 succinctly states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works.' It highlights that salvation is a divine gift, underscoring that human effort or adherence to the law cannot earn God’s favor. Paul emphasized this principle in his ministry, illustrating how believing in Jesus extends beyond obeying the Jewish law to encompass a wondrous relationship of grace. Hence, true belief and relationship with God must stem from this grace, as God's chosen method of reconciliation through Christ.
