I love the word GRACE, which is God’s unmerited favor.
Some preachers used it as an acronym as, “God’s Righteousness At Christ’ Expense.” For as followers of Christ, we know how the Christian life is indeed all about grace.
Ephesians 2:8 even says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”
Therefore, Christians can never be good enough to inherit eternal life. In fact, nothing we can do to inherit this eternal life and cure the problem within our heart called, “sin.”
Eternal life in Christ Jesus is indeed a free gift that came with a price. It was paid in full in Jesus Christ on the cross. And this grace is God’s undeserved gift for mankind.
