How do we know that God saves us through grace?

Answered in 1 source

We know God saves us through grace because salvation is described as a free gift that comes through faith in Jesus Christ, as affirmed in Ephesians 2:8-9.

The understanding that God saves us through grace is central to Reformed theology, particularly highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9, where Paul writes that we are saved by grace through faith, and that not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This distinctively sets forth divine grace as unmerited favor, emphasizing that salvation is not based on human effort or works but entirely on the grace and mercy of God. In the message, it is emphasized that this grace is manifested in the work of the triune God, with the Father initiating salvation, the Son mediating our redemption, and the Holy Spirit applying this grace to our hearts. Thus, our assurance of salvation rests not on our own merits but solely on God's sovereign grace.
