Why is grace essential in understanding God's words?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is essential because it reflects God's character and the unmerited favor He extends to His people through His words.

Understanding God's words in the context of grace is vital because grace is a fundamental attribute of God's character. As the sermon mentions, God is described as the 'God of all grace', implying that all divine blessings—including salvation, forgiveness, and adoption—emanate from His gracious nature. His words of promise are not contingent upon human merit but are instead gifts flowing from His grace. This foundational understanding alleviates any notion of achieving righteousness through works, ensuring that the message of the Gospel remains centered on Christ and His finished work, leading to true salvation and acceptance before God.
