How do we know that God's grace is essential for overcoming barriers?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is essential because it is only through Him that we can be delivered from the barriers of sin and spiritual death.

The necessity of God's grace is vividly demonstrated in Scripture, especially in Exodus 14, where the Israelites were set before the Red Sea, unable to deliver themselves from their plight—illustrative of our own spiritual deadness. In 1 Corinthians 2:14, Paul emphasizes that a natural man cannot receive the things of the Spirit of God, underscoring the need for a spiritual rebirth to comprehend and access divine truths. It is by God's grace that we are brought to the end of ourselves, mirroring the helplessness of the Israelites. The grace that places us in situations where we can do nothing is ultimately a blessing, as it leads us to rely solely on Christ for salvation and not our own merit.
