The gospel of grace reveals that salvation is a gift from God, entirely based on His mercy and not human works (Acts 26, Ephesians 2:8-9).
The gospel of grace is central to Christian faith, emphasizing that salvation comes solely from God's mercy through faith in Jesus Christ. Acts 26 recounts Paul preaching this gospel, which highlights that individuals can do nothing to earn their way to God. Ephesians 2:8-9 reinforces this view: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast.' The grace of God is what empowers individuals to come to faith. This message counters the belief that human effort plays a role in salvation and underscores the importance of relying solely on God's grace.
