How do we know that God's grace is pivotal for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is the unmerited favor that guarantees salvation, as it is through grace that individuals are chosen and saved.

The doctrine of grace is fundamental to understanding salvation as it removes any reliance on human works. Romans 11:6 emphasizes that if salvation is by grace, it cannot also be based on works; otherwise, grace would not be grace. This principle shows that salvation is entirely an act of God's mercy and love, not a reward for human merit. The preservation of the faithful is not centered on their actions but rather on the grace of God, which leads individuals to repentance, faith, and ultimately salvation. This reinforces the believer's assurance that their reliance is on God’s unchanging grace, ensuring their eternal security.
