Grace is essential because it is through God's sovereign grace that sinners are saved, justified, and empowered to live according to His will.
Grace is at the heart of the Christian faith, as it represents God's unmerited favor toward humanity. The sermon emphasizes that it is solely by the grace of God that we are saved from our sins and from hell, in accordance with Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves. Understanding grace is crucial for Christians because it reminds us that salvation is a gift, not a reward for our actions. Furthermore, grace not only saves but also sustains believers; it enables us to live in obedience and gratitude for what God has done, thereby reflecting His righteousness in our lives.
