"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"Let us praise the name of Jesus, Prophet, Priest and sovereign King; To Him render adoration, Laud and homage to Him bring. Let us praise the name of Jesus, God Incarnate from above; Came to save His chosen people, Sent by God in cov’nant love.   Let us praise the name of Jesus, Who upon Mount Calvary; Shed His blood and sealed our pardon, Died from sin to set us free. Let us praise the name of Jesus, Risen, conquering, gracious Friend; Advocate and Mediator, All our hopes on Him depend.   Let us praise the name of Jesus, For He brought us to His fold; Come exalt His Name and worship, May the Savior be extolled.

I was talking to a man once and mentioned that we are justified by grace. “Oh no” he said. We are justified by faith (as if they were contrary).
