How do we know that God saves us by grace?

Answered in 2 sources

We know God saves by grace through personal experience and the testimony of Scripture, affirming that salvation is not based on our works.

The assurance of salvation by grace comes from a deep understanding of God's nature and the truths presented in Scripture. The preacher emphasized that salvation is not something we contribute to through our works, but rather it is entirely by God's purpose and grace, as stated in 2 Timothy 1:9. When one experiences genuine faith in Christ, they can testify that their salvation is a result of God's unmerited favor—this is not merely an intellectual belief but a profound inner realization that God has acted for us according to His sovereign will. The witness, then, comes from recognizing that one's life has been changed by this grace, leading to a humble acknowledgment of God's mercy and the work of Christ.
