How does grace operate in salvation according to Reformed theology?

Answered in 1 source

Grace operates in salvation as an unmerited gift from God, calling individuals to Himself through irresistible grace.

In Reformed theology, salvation is wholly grounded in God's grace, emphasizing that it is unearned and undeserved. This grace is effectual and operates through God's calling, as illustrated in Paul's conversion experience on the road to Damascus, where God sovereignly intervened. Salvation is initiated by God and accomplished through Jesus Christ, emphasizing that no one can come to faith except through God's gracious call. Furthermore, this grace empowers believers to respond in faith, highlighting the total dependence on God's initiative in the work of salvation. Thus, grace assures believers of their standing before God as they are united with Christ.
