How does grace relate to justification in Christianity?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is the means by which we are justified before God, as stated in Ephesians 2:8-9.

In Christian theology, justification is understood as being declared righteous before God, and this is only possible through the grace of God. Ephesians 2:8-9 proclaims that '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 demonstrates that salvation is a gift from God, not something earned by human effort. The abundance of grace provided through Christ’s death and resurrection allows us to be justified freely, underscoring the truth that no act we perform can suffice to earn God’s favor. Hence, grace is the foundation of our standing before God, affirming that our salvation is completely reliant on Him.
