Question: What is God's Grace:
Answer:
Grace is God's loving kind gift to mankind. This gift cannot be earned.
Ephesians 2:8,9 “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast.”
Again the Apostle Paul states...
Romans 11:6 “...if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works, otherwise grace is no longer grace.”
We cannot earn our salvation, we may only receive it as a “free-gift” from God, through repentance for sins and acceptance of Jesus Christ as our Saviour and Lord.
Please remember, “not of works, lest any man should boast.” also applies to “Religious Works!”
Church membership, confirmation, baptism, communion, all acceptable and good, yet in themselves, cannot justify us before God.
We cannot, earn salvation. Christ came and gave His life a ransom for those who could not help themselves.
For those who accept Him, they become members of the Redeemed.
