How does God's love relate to grace?

Answered in 1 source

God's love is the foundation of grace, assuring us that our salvation depends solely on His unmerited favor (Ephesians 2:8-9).

The relationship between God’s love and grace is intrinsic to the message of the Gospel. Ephesians 2:8-9 clearly articulates, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This indicates that our salvation is entirely based on God's grace, which flows from His love for humanity. It is not something we can earn; rather, it is given freely to those who believe. Thus, understanding God’s love fills us with assurance and hope, as we recognize that our standing before Him is not dependent on our performance but on His unchanging character.
