Greetings, "The Bible is Right"! Excellent question. 'Grace that saves' is the unmerited, undeserved gift of salvation that is bestowed upon us by God at the moment that we truly accept, receive, and place our faith in the Savior (John 1:12), which comes as a result of hearing and acknowledging the Gospel as truth (Romans 10:14). Blessings to you, Makarios |

A wholehearted "YES!" Acts 20:24 says "But none of these things move me, neither count I my life dear unto myself, so that I might finish my course with joy, and the ministry, which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to testify the gospel of the grace of God." The word "gospel" means "good message." Anything less than our salvation by God's grace is NOT a "good message." If our reconcilation with God could have been obtained any other way, i.e., if there was something God could have required of us that we could have done, He would NOT have had to send Jesus. But there wasn't, so He did! Remember in Acts 15 how "certain men who came down from Judaea" were causing problems because these men were teaching the Gentile believers that they had to be circumcised AND keep the law of Moses. What did Peter say concerning this? "Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we shall be saved, even as they." God's salvation by grace is so simple to understand, but man messes it up because he always wants to DO something to EARN his eternal life. But salvation is a free gift from God in Christ Jesus. You can't "earn" something that is free and is a gift, right? That's what makes it great news! -smile- Have a blessed day! Mrs B. (Donna) in Georgia |

Greetings again, "The Bible is Right!" I missed your last question, but I was able to post an answer to your first question in this thread.. I believe that it is better for us to look in Romans for the answer than in Ephesians.. Perhaps we should start at Romans 10:17, which states, "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ." And the 'word of Christ' and 'good news' (v.16) are both referring to the Gospel message. Quite simply, the Gospel message contains the Truth about God, and if we believe the Truth upon hearing it, then we begin to have faith in God ("Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen." Heb. 11:1). And the moment that we believe, have faith and truly put our trust in Jesus Christ, then He will extend to us His gift of 'saving grace.' Blessings to you, Makarios |

Well, that is just it. You see, we must get to know Him more and more. And the best way for us to get to know Him is by reading and studying what He has left us: His Holy Word, which just so happens to be mentioned in your Username. Another way that we can develop our relationship with Jesus and get to know Him is through prayer. By praying and reading your Bible consistently, you will be well on your way to knowing and trusting Jesus more. Blessings to you, Makarios |
