How do we know that grace is unearned?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is defined as a free gift that cannot be earned, as Paul explains in Romans 4:4-5.

In Romans 4:4-5, Paul clarifies that to the one who works, the reward is not counted as grace but as a debt owed for services rendered. He contrasts this with the individual who does not work but believes on Him who justifies the ungodly, whose faith is counted for righteousness. This distinction highlights that grace, as God's unmerited favor, cannot be earned by human efforts or rites, reinforcing that only through faith are we justified before God.
