How do we know that salvation is not just for good people?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is a gift of grace, available to all, regardless of their past, emphasizing God's mercy over human merit.

The doctrine of sovereign grace teaches that salvation is not based on our goodness but is a result of God's unmerited favor. Romans 3:23 tells us that all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, illustrating our universal need for salvation. The account of the young man in the sermon exemplifies how one may have a pious upbringing yet become lost. It is God's grace alone that reaches out to the lost, not their works or heritage. This encourages believers to understand that no one is beyond the reach of God’s transformative grace, and it is a sobering reminder of the depths of sin and the boundless mercy of our Savior.
