Why is grace necessary for salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is necessary because it is the unmerited favor of God that enables our salvation.

Grace is central to the Christian understanding of salvation, as it is the means by which God freely chooses to save those who are utterly unworthy of such a gift. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. Without grace, we would be eternally lost due to our total depravity and inability to fulfill God's law. The doctrines of grace reveal how God, in His justice, can also be merciful, ensuring that salvation is entirely based on His sovereign will rather than any merit on our part. Consequently, recognizing the necessity of grace leads to a deeper understanding of the Gospel and inspires gratitude and humility in believers.
