“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.” | Ephesians 2: 8-9

In this blessed verse Paul gives us six things concerning God’s grace in Christ that we must consider in order to begin to understand it.

1. GRACE has been defined as “unmerited favor.”
2. If grace is unmerited, then none can claim it as a right.
3. If GRACE is “unearned and undeserved,” then none are entitled to it.
4. If GRACE is a “gift,” then none can demand it.
5. If GRACE is a “free gift” then, God has the right to bestow it upon whom He will. (Don’t you give gifts to whom you want?)
6. If salvation is by GRACE then, the very chief of sinners, the worst of the worst, is not beyond the reach of Divine mercy.
7. Because salvation is by GRACE, boasting is excluded and God gets all the glory.

“To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.” (Ephesians 1:6)
