Why is it essential to speak about God's grace and mercy?

Answered in 1 source

Speaking of God's grace and mercy is essential as it exalts His sovereign nature and assures believers of their salvation.

In Reformed theology, the emphasis on God's grace and mercy is paramount because it highlights the unmerited favor bestowed upon believers. As illustrated in the sermon, salvation is entirely a work of God, with no human merit involved (Ephesians 2:8-9). By proclaiming grace, believers recognize that their worthiness before God relies entirely on Christ's finished work. This truth fosters assurance and confidence among Christians, stripping away pride while glorifying God alone for their salvation. Such proclamation not only encourages the faithful but also serves as an invitation to others to experience the gracious touch of God, extending hope to the lost and invigorating evangelistic efforts.
