Grace is the cornerstone of our faith and the foundation of our salvation. As Paul writes in Ephesians, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God…” (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace is not something we can earn; it is freely given through Christ. This truth invites us to rest from striving and to trust fully in the sufficiency of Christ’s work on the cross.
Similarly, Romans reminds us of the profound peace we gain through grace: “Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ.” (Romans 5:1). Grace not only justifies us but also grants us peace, reconciling us to God and giving us access to His abundant blessings. It is the bridge that connects our human frailty to God’s perfect strength, enabling us to live transformed lives that glorify Him.
Grace is God’s part; it is His initiative, His gift, and His power at work in us. Faith is our part; it is our response to His grace—our belief, trust, and dependence on what He has already accomplished.
Together, grace and faith create the foundation for a life rooted in God’s promises. By faith, we receive His grace, and through His grace, we are empowered to walk by faith.
