How do we know that God's grace is effective in salvation?

Answered in 4 sources

The effectiveness of God's grace in salvation is evidenced by the transformative work of the Holy Spirit in a believer's heart (2 Corinthians 2:14).

The effectiveness of God's grace in salvation is seen through the transformative power it has in the lives of believers. As stated in 2 Corinthians 2:14, the gospel brings victory through Christ, manifesting the knowledge of God. This illustrates that when God extends His grace to an individual, it results in genuine faith and repentance, enabling that person to respond to the gospel. Furthermore, Scripture consistently emphasizes that salvation is not dependent on human effort but is entirely a result of God's grace. Believers are drawn to Christ not because of their own merit but due to the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, who regenerates their hearts and opens their eyes to the truth of the gospel.
