Grace is received through faith in Jesus Christ, as He is the embodiment of grace and truth (John 1:17).
Grace is received by faith, which is considered the means through which believers access the unmerited favor of God. John 1:17 teaches that "the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ." This verse emphasizes that grace is not a result of our works but is given through a personal relationship with Christ, who embodies both grace and truth. Faith is the evidence of grace's work in a believer's heart; it is not the cause of salvation but rather the response to God’s initiative in grace. As Paul outlines in Ephesians 2, it is by grace that we are saved through faith, and this is not of ourselves—it is the gift of God.
