How do we know that grace is necessary for effective ministry?

Answered in 1 source

Grace, rather than human training or eloquence, empowers effective ministry and service to God.

The content indicates that despite Moses's training in Egypt and his experiences in Midian, he lacked the essential qualities for effective service, such as faith and obedience. God demonstrated to Moses that natural abilities or academic training are insufficient without divine grace. The call to service is empowered by God Himself, who equips His servants irrespective of their perceived deficiencies. This reflects the Reformed understanding that true effectiveness in ministry hinges on God's grace rather than human merit or skill, aligning with the principles of sovereign grace theology.
