How do we know grace is the origin of forgiveness?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is central to forgiveness, as it is the free and unmerited favor of God that allows for our redemption (Romans 4:16).

Grace is the very foundation upon which forgiveness rests. The article emphasizes that forgiveness originates from God's grace, which is characterized by His unyielding love that is not contingent upon our merit. Romans 4:16 states that it is by grace that the promise is secured; if it were based on works, it would not be grace. This establishes that forgiveness is a product of God’s divine initiative, not a response to human effort or worthiness. Without grace, no sinner could attain forgiveness, implying that this unmerited favor is essential for our redemption and the reconciliation of our relationship with God.
