How do we know that God’s grace is free?

Answered in 2 sources

God's grace is declared free through multiple scripture passages that emphasize salvation as a gift, such as Ephesians 2:8-9.

The sovereign grace of God is foundational to Reformed theology, which holds that salvation is entirely a work of divine grace and not based on human merit or effort. Ephesians 2:8-9 articulates this truth clearly, stating that we are saved by grace through faith, highlighting that it is a gift of God and not a result of our works. This understanding reveals that God’s grace is unmerited and freely bestowed upon those He has chosen, reflecting His nature of love and mercy.

Moreover, throughout Scripture, we see examples of God’s grace in action, affirming the belief that every blessing we receive is rooted in His goodness rather than our righteousness. This doctrine not only underscores the irresistible nature of God’s grace but also inspires gratitude and humility in believers, leading them to live in light of the grace they have received. We are reminded to carry this gospel light to others, as it is a privilege to share the grace that has changed our own lives.
