What role does faith play in receiving grace?

Answered in 2 sources

Faith is the means by which we receive God's grace and is essential for our salvation.

Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies that we are saved by grace through faith, emphasizing that it is not our works that secure salvation, but faith alone in Jesus Christ. This faith is not just an intellectual assent but involves a deep trust in Christ's finished work on the cross. By believing in Him, we accept the grace He offers, which paves the way for our justification before God. Understanding this helps Christians realize that salvation is a gift from God, received through faith, and not a result of our own efforts.
