How do we know grace is greater than sin?

Answered in 3 sources

Grace is greater than sin because it abounds far more, providing forgiveness and life where sin leads to death (Romans 5:20).

The reality that grace is greater than sin is underscored in Romans 5:20, where it states, 'where sin abounded, grace did much more abound.' This means that no matter how great our sins are, God's grace is even greater and provides a way for reconciliation and redemption. Grace does not merely equal the weight of our sin; it eclipses it, offering forgiveness for even the deepest guilt and transforming the lives of those who believe. Grace offers a hope and assurance that sin cannot diminish, displaying God's power to save and renew lives.
