Christians seek grace because it is essential for salvation and sustains their relationship with God.
Christians seek grace because it represents God's unmerited favor, which is foundational to our salvation. Ephesians 2:8-9 teaches that we are saved by grace through faith, not by any works of our own. This grace draws us into a relationship with God, allowing us to experience His mercy and love. As seen in the story of Ruth, grace motivates the seeker to pursue the Redeemer, acknowledging their need and helplessness. It's through grace that Christians grow in faith and sanctification, relying on God's strength rather than their own. Seeking grace encourages believers to remain humble, recognizing that it is only through Christ that they can stand complete and accepted before God.
