Why is the grace of God essential in salvation?

Answered in 1 source

The grace of God is essential for salvation, as it is solely by His power that we are regenerated and brought to faith.

The grace of God is the foundation of our salvation, highlighting that it is not based on our merit or abilities but is a sovereign work of God. As described in Romans 1:16, the gospel itself is the power of God unto salvation. This means that only God can initiate and accomplish the work of regenerating a dead heart and bringing a sinner to faith. Recognizing our complete inability and the absolute sufficiency of God's grace motivates true worship and gratitude, as we understand that our salvation rests entirely on His sovereign love and power.
