How do we know that grace is unmerited in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Christianity teaches that grace is unmerited, shown through God's choice to bless the unworthy, like the widow and Naaman.

The doctrine of grace in Christianity emphasizes that it is unmerited favor from God, as seen in the accounts of the widow of Zarephath who received provision during a famine, and Naaman, who was cleansed of leprosy. These instances highlight that God's mercy and grace are not given based on our worthiness or actions but by His sovereign will. The focus is on God’s goodness and readiness to save those who realize their need, affirming that grace is a gift, not a reward for works.
