How does God’s grace function in our salvation?

Answered in 1 source

God's grace is the foundation of our salvation; it is unmerited favor enabling us to believe and be transformed.

God's grace is central to the Reformed understanding of salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 asserts that we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that it is not of ourselves or our works but a gift from God. This grace is transformative, as it not only initiates our justification but also empowers our sanctification. The Holy Spirit enables believers to turn from sin and follow Christ, as seen in 2 Peter 3:9, where we understand God's longsuffering toward His elect, ensuring that all whom He has chosen will come to repentance. Thus, our salvation is a complete work of grace, underlining the sovereign will of God in the process of redemption.
