How do we know that grace is essential for bowing to God?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is essential for bowing because it empowers us to submit to God's righteousness.

The essence of bowing before God lies in the realization that we are unable to come to Him in our own strength. As Paul reflects on his transformation from Saul of Tarsus, he asserts that it was God's grace that brought him to his knees. Only by the grace of God can we genuinely say 'I bow'—acknowledging our neediness and His sufficiency. The text emphasizes that any act of submission to God arises from His prior work in our hearts, illustrating that salvation itself starts with God’s grace enabling us to submit to His righteousness.
