Why is God’s grace emphasized in salvation?

The doctrine of salvation by grace alone is central to Reformed theology. It underscores that salvation is not based on human effort or merit but solely on God’s kindness and mercy toward the sinner. The sermon articulates that it is through grace that we are enabled to repent and believe. This grace is manifested in the work of Christ, who justifies the ungodly and offers eternal life to all who believe in Him. The grace of God is the reassurance that despite our failings, we are securely held within His promises through faith in Jesus.
