How do we know grace is not based on religious knowledge?

Answered in 1 source

Religious knowledge alone cannot save, as it must be accompanied by true faith in Christ.

Paul articulates in Acts 22 that despite his extensive training in the law under Gamaliel, such knowledge was ultimately insufficient for salvation. His experience shows that intellectual understanding without a relationship with Christ is futile. Many today possess profound theological knowledge yet lack the spiritual life that comes only through divine revelation and faith in Jesus. As Romans 10:17 communicates, 'So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,' it is through the gospel proclamation that one truly knows Christ and receives faith. Thus, reliance on mere religious education is inadequate; true salvation requires a personal encounter with God’s grace.
