“But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they.” | Acts 15: 11

When that first Bible Conference at Jerusalem was assembled and the vital question about salvation was discussed, Peter stood up and declared that salvation is by the grace of God alone, not by the deeds of the law. (Galatians 2: 21; 1 Peter 5: 10) There are at least four things we know the scriptures plainly declare about the grace of God.

1). Grace is eternal. Grace was planned and purposed in Christ before it was imparted and applied to our heart. (2 Timothy 1: 9; Hebrews 13: 20; Revelation 13: 8)

2). Grace is free. No man ever purchased the grace of God. He bought us with His own blood and justified us with His grace alone. (Acts 20: 28; 1 Peter 1: 18; Romans 3: 24)

3). Grace is sovereign. God gives grace to whom He pleases. Grace is the free and sovereign favor of God freely given to undeserving, ill-deserving and hell-deserving sinners. (Romans 5: 19-21; Romans 9: 12-16)

4). Grace is always because of and in Christ. We only believe through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ. (John 1: 16-17; Acts 18: 27; Ephesians 1: 3-7; 2 Corinthians 8: 9)

Thank God for His grace. Every believer can say with Paul, “I am what I am by His grace.”
