How does sin relate to God's grace in the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

Sin serves to highlight God's grace, revealing His plan for redemption and our need for salvation.

In Romans 6:17, we observe a profound truth: our past servitude to sin leads to grateful obedience to Christ. Sin exposes our need for a Savior, thus making grace all the more glorious. The Scripture teaches that God, through His intricate wisdom, utilizes our failures and struggles to magnify His mercy. Jonathan Edwards aptly noted that divine wisdom has created a means by which sinners can experience a greater joy post-redemption than if they had never sinned at all. This ultimately showcases God's glory and goodness.
