How do we know the need for God's grace is true?

Answered in 1 source

The need for God's grace is evident in scripture, demonstrating that human efforts and understanding are insufficient for salvation.

God's grace is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation. In John 11, the hardness of the Jewish leaders' hearts serves as a reminder that no amount of miraculous evidence can change a person's heart without divine intervention. The notion that men can simply decide to accept Christ is a delusion, as evidenced by Luke 16:31, which indicates that if they will not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead. Therefore, it is God's grace alone that can open eyes and soften hearts to the truth of the Gospel.
