Why should I accept grace instead of trying to earn salvation?

Answered in 1 source

Accepting grace is essential because our works cannot save us; salvation is a free gift from God.

Accepting grace over striving to earn salvation is vital for our spiritual well-being. Ephesians 2:8-9 clarifies this by stating that we are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from ourselves; it is the gift of God. The attempt to earn salvation through works can lead to despair, as no one is capable of achieving God's righteous standards on their own. Conversely, accepting grace opens the door to a relationship with God based on His love and mercy, rather than on our imperfect efforts. Grace provides freedom from the burden of self-righteousness and invites us to rest in the finished work of Christ, which guarantees our acceptance before God.
