Why is God's grace essential for believers?

In the context of sovereign grace theology, God's grace refers to the unmerited favor shown to His people. This grace was given to us in Christ before the foundation of the world, establishing a foundation for our salvation and ongoing relationship with God. It enables believers to dwell securely in the secret place of the Most High and reaffirms that all spiritual blessings, such as redemption, acceptance, and justification, flow from this grace. Without it, our relationship with God would be unattainable.
