“For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, that no one should boast." - Ephesians 2:8-9
What is grace? The Bible tells us that Grace is favor - - unmerited favor - - unearned favor. Grace is the personal presence of God Almighty as we strive to be perfect but always fall short. The most amazing gift of grace the world will ever know is that Christ became human to die for the sins of mankind. This One who had no sin and no weakness allowed Himself to be crucified on a cross that we might be forgiven. Amazing! Becoming a Christian is not based on “what we do” but on what Jesus has already done for us.
