How does God's grace enable us to live a virtuous life?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace empowers us to live virtuously by instilling in us the Spirit of Christ, who leads us in righteousness.

The grace of God is fundamental to our ability to live a virtuous life. According to Ephesians 3:16, it is through the strengthening of the Spirit in our inner man that we can embody the character of Christ. This divine influence transforms our desires and inclinations, helping us to overcome the bondage of sin. As we rely on His grace, we begin to reflect the virtues of Christ, moving away from our old ways and embodying qualities like kindness, patience, and self-control. Therefore, living a virtuous life is not a mere obligation but a natural outcome of grace at work within us.
