GOD's FREE GRACE IN CHRIST ~ Rejoice!

 "For by grace are ye saved through faith" -Ephesians 2:8 [KJV]

Salvation, from start to finish, is the work of God's free grace in Christ. Grace planned the way of salvation by the Substitutionary Sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ. It was Grace that chose those who would be saved in eternal election. Grace brought the Lord Jesus Christ down from Heaven to die in our place at Calvary.

Grace calls sinners to Christ by its irresistible power. Grace gives us life. Grace preserves us in life. And that same grace of
God will present us holy and without blame before the presence of His glory in
heaven. All the blessings of Grace in Salvation come to all of God's people "Through faith." Faith is not our Saviour. Christ alone is the Saviour of His people. But faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is necessary unto salvation.

Every one of God's elect looks to Christ in faith and receives salvation from Him. Faith is the channel through which salvation comes. Faith is "Not of ourselves: it is the gift of God." Grace is the gift of God, Salvation is the gift of God, and Faith is the gift of God. None of these things can be attributed to us. We believe according to the working of God's almighty power within us. Faith is not the work of the sinner. IT IS THE WORK OF GOD IN THE SINNER.
