How does God's grace make Christ precious to believers?

Answered in 2 sources

God’s grace reveals Christ's worth, as it underscores His role as the giver of mercy and salvation, making Him precious to those who believe.

In the context of sovereign grace, God’s mercy is crucial to understanding why Christ is precious to believers. According to 1 Peter 2:10, believers have 'obtained mercy' through God's grace, which they did not deserve. This mercy highlights Christ’s sacrificial role and infinite value, as He was the one who atoned for sin. The recognition of Christ's worth is tied to the understanding of His unsearchable riches and grace that they received. Thus, seeing Christ as precious is a direct response to an appreciation of God's sovereign grace at work in their lives, affirming that their salvation hinges entirely on His mercy rather than their efforts.
