Our Salvation is by grace through faith and is a gracious gift of God…not through any human achievement of ours. This is made plain in Ephesians 2:8-9 which states, ” For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so no one may boast.” Thus, this inexpressible and generous gift of God has nothing to do with our deeds, but everything to do with our dedication to Christ Jesus, His Son.
