Why is understanding true grace important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Understanding true grace prevents Christians from falling into legalism or antinomianism, affirming that salvation is entirely a gift from God.

For Christians, grasping the concept of true grace is crucial because it shapes their understanding of salvation and Christian living. It highlights that salvation is purely a gift, not earned by works or human effort, thus protecting against legalism where one might try to gain God's favor through their actions. Conversely, it guards against antinomianism, which misinterprets grace as a license to sin. True grace motivates believers to live holy lives as a response to God's love, knowing that their righteousness comes from Christ’s sacrifice and not their own merit.
