The Marvelous Gift Of Grace

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on Apr 7, 2019

Following his declaration of man's depravity and the love of God to meet our desperate need, Paul reveals the means of our salvation. We are saved by grace through faith unto good works. Works do not produce salvation, but they will follow genuine salvation.
