Why is grace important in the calling of believers?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is essential as it is the basis for God's calling and salvation, not based on human works.

Grace is the cornerstone of the gospel message and is crucial in the calling of believers. According to 2 Timothy 1:9, God has saved us and called us not according to our works but according to His own purpose and grace. This highlights that salvation is entirely the work of God, independent of any human merit. The sermon articulates that it is through God's grace that the spiritually thirsty are drawn to Christ. When believers recognize their inability and come to Christ, they do so trusting in grace alone for justification, sanctification, and ultimately glorification. Thus, grace becomes a source of security, guaranteeing that all whom God calls will be accepted.
