What role does grace play in salvation?

Answered in 10 sources

Grace is the unmerited favor of God that enables our salvation, transforming the hearts of the lost into those who rejoice in Christ.

Grace is central to the doctrine of salvation in Reformed theology. It is by God’s unmerited favor that we are saved; we cannot earn it through our own efforts. As described in the sermon, when we recognize that we are lost, grace becomes the means through which God reaches out to us, seeking and saving those who cannot save themselves. This grace leads to a change of heart, enabling us to rejoice in our salvation and live lives that honor God. It is not merely a one-time event but an ongoing reality for all who believe, as they continually experience God's grace throughout their Christian journey.
