Why is understanding total inability important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding total inability highlights the necessity of God's grace for salvation, as man cannot save himself.

Comprehending total inability is crucial for Christians as it lays the foundation for appreciating the grace of God in salvation. If man is incapable of pleasing God or turning to Him for salvation without divine intervention, it becomes clear that salvation is entirely the Lord's work. This doctrine removes any notion of human merit and emphasizes that God must sovereignly initiate and complete the work of salvation. Recognizing our complete dependence on God fosters humility and gratitude, directing our worship towards Him solely for His glorious grace and mercy.
