What role does grace play in a Christian's life?

Grace plays a transformative role in the believer’s life as it not only brings about initial salvation but also continually shapes one's character and actions. Ephesians 2:10 underscores that we are created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God has prepared in advance for us to do. This signifies that while we are not saved by good works, grace equips and propels us to do those works, serving a greater purpose in God’s plan. Our response to grace is to live in a way that honors God, reflecting His mercy and love to others, thereby demonstrating the real change that grace brings.
