How does grace come to us according to Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

In Reformed theology, grace comes to us through the sovereign work of God, not through our own efforts (2 Timothy 1:9).

Reformed theology posits that grace is an unmerited favor bestowed by God upon those He has chosen. As articulated in Ephesians 2:8-9, salvation is by grace through faith, highlighting that we are saved not by our works but by God's grace alone. This grace comes to us through the person and work of Jesus Christ, who has secured our redemption through His death and resurrection. It is critical to understand that we do not 'come to grace'; rather, grace comes to us from God, a theme deeply embedded in the teachings of Scripture. This belief emphasizes the sovereignty of God in salvation and the necessity of divine intervention in the believer’s life.
