How does God's grace impact our lives as believers?
Answered in 1 source
God’s grace is the foundational means through which believers are saved, sustained, and transformed throughout their lives.
The grace of God is central to the Christian faith, as it reflects His unmerited favor towards sinners. As articulated in Ephesians 2:8-9, salvation is by grace through faith, which underscores that no human effort can earn God's favor. This grace not only justifies believers but also sanctifies and empowers them to live holy lives (Titus 2:11-12). Grace instills a deep sense of reliance on God for strength, guiding believers in following Christ and fulfilling His commands. Ultimately, it leads to the transformation of the heart, producing a life marked by love, obedience, and a longing for Christ's return, as unveiled in Revelation 22:21, 'The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all.'
