The grace of God is a beautiful and amazing gift. First and foremost, it's BECAUSE of God's grace that we're saved. There's nothing WE can do, in and of ourselves, to EARN salvation. It is a free gift from the Father. Secondly, it's God's grace working in and through us... that CAUSES us to walk in His ways! What a wonderful blessing! Our Heavenly Father offers us salvation by grace through faith...and then gives us the means to LIVE according to His Word...BY GRACE! That takes US out of the equation! All WE must do is be WILLING.
