How do we know that grace is the basis for sanctification?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the basis for sanctification as it empowers believers to live righteously without relying on the law.

The Apostle Paul emphasizes that sanctification is not achieved through adherence to the law but is rooted in grace. In Colossians 3:12-14, he encourages believers to put on virtues such as kindness, humility, and love, which reflect the grace that they have received in Christ. This grace transforms hearts and lives, prompting believers to desire holiness and righteousness naturally, rather than through legalistic means. The understanding that they are not under the law but under grace gives them the motivation to pursue a godly life that is pleasing to God, working from their new identity in Christ.
