How does the cross relate to God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

The cross is the foundation of God's grace, securing our salvation through Christ's sacrifice.

The provision of the cross is central to understanding God's grace, as it is the basis on which God bestows eternal blessings on His people. Just as Esther risked her life for her people, Christ willingly took on the burden of our sins and paid the penalty at the cross. His resurrection confirms that justice has been satisfied. This means that grace reigns through the righteousness of Christ, granting eternal life to those who trust in His finished work. As Romans 5:21 states, 'grace reigns through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord.'
