How do we know that God's grace is sufficient?

Answered in 31 sources

God's grace is sufficient because it overcomes the extent of our sinfulness and provides complete forgiveness in Christ (2 Corinthians 12:9).

The assurance of God's grace being sufficient is rooted in the truth that, though sin has entered the world and abounds, the grace of God superabounds over it. In the apostle Paul's letters, specifically in 2 Corinthians 12:9, we see that God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. This means that no matter how great our sin, God's grace is greater and can cover all sin. This sufficiency is demonstrated in the complete work of Christ, where His blood washes away our sins and offers us a new life through His resurrection. Therefore, we can trust that God's grace is not only sufficient but superabundant.
