How do we know that grace motivates our obedience?

Answered in 1 source

Grace motivates our obedience as it frees us from the need to earn salvation, allowing us to respond in gratitude and love.

The foundation of Christian obedience is grace. As Paul elaborates, true obedience is not about meeting conditions to earn favor; rather, it springs from an understanding that salvation is a free gift from God. When we embrace God’s grace, we realize that our righteousness and goodness are not inherent but come solely through Christ. This realization transforms our motivations, moving us away from fear of condemnation to joyful obedience in response to God’s love. Grace compels us to live in a manner that reflects our gratitude for what Christ has done, working in tandem with the Holy Spirit to produce genuine faith-driven actions.
