How does God's grace affect a believer's life?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace transforms a believer's life by enabling them to live in obedience and gratitude for His unmerited favor.

In Reformed thought, grace is understood as God's unmerited favor bestowed upon sinners. This grace not only initiates salvation but also empowers believers to live according to God's commandments. Ephesians 2:8-10 articulates that we are saved by grace through faith, but it is also that grace which enables us to do good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. Thus, the believer's life is a continual response of thanks and service to God, motivated by the grace they have received. Moreover, grace assures believers of their standing before God, as they are justified solely through Christ's righteousness.
