Why is the grace of God significant in Paul's ministry?

Answered in 1 source

The grace of God underscores Paul's mission to preach salvation through faith in Christ, not through adherence to the law.

The grace of God is fundamental within Paul's ministry, emphasizing that salvation is not attained through works but through faith in Jesus Christ. In Ephesians 2:8-9, Paul clearly states, 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' This grace allows believers to rest in the completed work of Christ, liberating them from the rigorous demands of the law. Paul’s approach in engaging with both Jews and Gentiles was rooted in this grace, demonstrating that he desired all to understand their freedom and new identity in Christ. The grace extended by God through Christ is what equips Paul to minister effectively, reconcile differing beliefs, and assert that faith in Jesus alone is sufficient for salvation.
