Why is the doctrine of grace central to salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Grace is central to salvation because it signifies God's unmerited favor towards the sinner.

Grace is fundamental to the Christian doctrine because it underscores that salvation is not earned by human effort but is a free gift from God. Ephesians 2:8-9 emphasizes that by grace we are saved through faith, and this not of ourselves; it is the gift of God. This means that our relationship with God, our acceptance, and our hope are entirely due to His sovereign grace. Understanding grace helps believers recognize their complete dependence on God for salvation and fuels a response of gratitude and obedience in their lives.
