How do we know grace is more important than ceremonial practices in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the foundation of salvation and spiritual life, as it is through grace that believers are justified, called, and sustained (Romans 3:24, Ephesians 2:5).

Grace holds a pivotal role in the Christian faith, as emphasized by St. Paul in his letters. He contrasts the significance of grace with that of ceremonial practices, arguing that heart establishment comes through grace and not through meats, or rituals. For example, Romans 3:24 states that we are justified freely by His grace, showcasing that salvation is based on God's unmerited favor rather than human rituals. Furthermore, Ephesians 2:5 reinforces that it is by grace we are saved, articulating that grace is the fundamental basis on which believers stand firm in their faith.
