How do we know grace is sufficient for salvation?

Answered in 44 sources

We know grace is sufficient because our sufficiency comes from God, who makes believers ministers of the New Covenant, as stated in 2 Corinthians 3:5.

The sufficiency of grace for salvation is a cornerstone of the New Testament ministry. In 2 Corinthians 3:5, the Apostle Paul states that our sufficiency is from God, indicating that salvation isn't based on human merit or law-keeping. Instead, it relies entirely on God's grace through Christ. This grace empowers believers to live according to His will, ensuring that their salvation is secure, not dependent on their works but on Christ's finished work on the cross. The assurance of grace brings liberation from the condemnation of the law, affirming that through faith, we are fully accepted by God.
