Why is grace central to the doctrine of salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Salvation is by grace alone, emphasizing that it is God’s undeserved favor and not based on human merit.

The centrality of grace in the doctrine of salvation is paramount because it underscores that salvation is solely a work of God's sovereign will rather than human effort. Ephesians 2:8-9 explicitly states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this faith is a gift from God, not of works. This teaches us that our standing before God is based on His mercy and love rather than anything we could do to deserve it. The doctrine of grace liberates believers from the burden of self-righteousness and assures them that their salvation is secure in the finished work of Christ, who accomplished what we could never achieve—reconciliation with God.
