Bible Question: What exactly is grace that saves? |
Bible Answer: 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).
