What is the relationship between man’s worth and God’s grace?

Answered in 1 source

Human worth is insignificant apart from God's grace; salvation comes solely through His sovereign work.

The understanding of man's worth in relation to God's grace is crucial in sovereign grace theology. According to the sermon, man, born in Adam, is described metaphorically as a 'worthless maggot,' emphasizing our total depravity and unworthiness. However, through the grace of God in Christ, believers are redeemed and given true worth, not based on their own merit, but because of the righteousness of Christ imputed to them. Ephesians 1:4 illustrates this grace, showing that it is not man’s worthiness but God's purpose and choice that leads to salvation.
