It is amazing to me the battle I still see about grace and faith. Church leaders across the globe will almost come to blows defending their stance on Bible Faith and Greasy Grace. Well, I am glad the bible is quite clear about all this.
I have the answer:
Look at Ephesians 2:8
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God" NKJV
Or in a different version:
"God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God." NLT
There it is, plain and simple. You can't get there without the other. It was "by Grace THROUGH Faith" that we received the gift of salvation from God. Anything or anyone that points you to anything that you have to work for is simply in error. IT is through Faith!
Grace was God's part; faith is our part.
Done. Any questions?
