What is the role of grace in the gospel?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is central to the gospel, emphasizing that salvation is a free gift from God, not based on human merit.

Grace is the unmerited favor of God, and it is foundational to the gospel message. The gospel reveals that God, out of His love and mercy, sovereignly chooses to save a people not on the basis of their works but purely through His grace. Romans 11:6 explains that if salvation were based on works, it would no longer be grace. The free offer of grace is what empowers believers to respond in faith to the gospel. This emphasis on grace ensures that all glory for salvation belongs to God alone, fostering humility and worship among His people.
