The doctrine of grace is true as it is rooted in the biblical revelation of God's work in salvation, particularly exemplified in the life and resurrection of Jesus Christ (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The doctrine of grace is fundamentally established through the Scriptures, emphasizing that salvation is a gift from God, not based on human efforts. Ephesians 2:8-9 asserts that we are saved by grace through faith, and not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This underscores the unmerited favor God extends to sinners. Furthermore, the 'sign of Jonah' illustrates grace in action, as it points to Christ's redemptive work and His invitation for repentance and faith. When we look at the entirety of Scripture, we find that grace is central to God’s character and manifests profoundly through His covenant promises.
