“By Grace Ye Are Saved”

Ephesians 2:5

Every believer rejoices to acknowledge that salvation is by the free and sovereign grace of God alone, effectually bestowed upon chosen sinners because of the efficacy of Christ’s blood and by the power of God the Holy Spirit. Salvation is An Expression of Grace that was given to God’s elect in Christ before the world began (2 Tim. 1:9); An Experience of Grace by which God’s elect are delivered from both the curse of the law and the dominion of sin (Rom. 6:10-18); and An Expectation of Grace inspiring us with the hope of possessing forever all he glory and bliss of heaven in union with Christ (Rom. 8:17). What grace began, grace will maintain, and grace will complete.
