God's grace is sufficient for salvation as evidenced by scripture, which declares that salvation belongs to the Lord and is not dependent on human actions.
The doctrine of grace underscores that salvation is a sovereign work of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that 'for by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.' This indicates that our salvation is entirely a gift from God, which removes boasting and highlights His mercy. Furthermore, John 6:37 assures us that 'all that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out,' illustrating that God's grace draws His elect to Himself.
