Why is it important for Christians to understand that salvation is entirely by God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding salvation as God's work ensures that Christians recognize His sovereignty and grace in their lives.

Recognizing that salvation is entirely by God's grace prevents believers from falling into the error of self-righteousness, where they attribute their salvation to their own merits. This understanding fosters humility and reliance on God's mercy. Furthermore, it assures Christians of the permanence of their salvation; as John 10:28 asserts, once given, they cannot be taken away. Grasping this doctrine, as expressed in Jude 1:24-25, reinforces the belief that it is God who keeps His people secure and faultless before Him, reassuring believers of His unending grace and sovereignty.
