How does God's grace relate to our salvation?

Answered in 3 sources

God's grace is the unmerited favor through which He saves His people, independent of their works or decisions.

God's grace is pivotal in the Reformed understanding of salvation, emphasizing that it is solely by His mercy that individuals are brought to faith and salvation. The proclamation of the Gospel reveals that salvation is not based on human merit but is a gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9). This grace was established in eternity and is applied in the lives of the elect. As stated in 2 Timothy 1:9, 'who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began.' This underscores the belief that it is God’s initiative, not human will, that brings about salvation, revealing the sheer magnitude of His sovereign grace.
