How do we know that grace is for sinners?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is emphasized in the Bible as being for sinners, particularly in Romans 5:8, which states that Christ died for the ungodly.

The assurance that grace is for sinners is foundational to Christian theology. Romans 5:8 puts forth the profound truth that God demonstrates His love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. This indicates that grace is not for the self-righteous or those who consider themselves deserving, but rather for those who acknowledge their sinfulness. The parable in Luke 18 illustrates this, showing how the tax collector cried out for mercy, acknowledging his sin before God. This aligns with the historic Reformed view that all are lost and in need of salvation, and that grace is a free gift from God to those who come in faith and humility.
