How do we know that the grace of God is necessary for salvation?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible affirms that the grace of God is essential for salvation, as all have sinned and fall short of His glory (Romans 3:23).
Salvation is entirely a work of God's grace, as evidenced throughout Scripture. Ephesians 2:8-9 explicitly states that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our own works, so that no one can boast. This grace is what enables sinners to come to God in repentance and faith, transforming their lives. The reality of human sinfulness and the inability to attain righteousness on our own highlight the necessity of God's grace for salvation. Furthermore, it is through this grace that believers are empowered to live in accordance with God's will, demonstrating the ongoing need for His grace throughout the Christian life.
