Read Ephesians 2:8 – For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.
Man's only hope of redemption is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ the Son of God. Salvation is received through repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ. By the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, being justified by grace through faith, man becomes an heir of God, according to the hope of eternal life.
It is by grace that we have been saved! Grace is God giving us something we do not deserve. We deserve to die and to spend eternity in hell. We deserve bondage and sickness because of the sin we lived by. But God in His rich love and mercy sent us His Son to die in our place. His grace gave us Christ and redeemed us from the curse. His grace is undeserved, unmerited and unlimited to those who come to Him. We should not have the chance to make a choice but we do! Nothing that we have done has given this to us. Grace comes only by what Christ has done for us!
