The doctrine of Grace Alone teaches that salvation is a gift of God’s grace, not something we can earn or deserve. Ephesians 2:8-9 says, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.”
Grace is God’s unmerited favor toward sinners. It is only because of His grace that we are saved, not because of anything we have done.
Practical Implications:
- Gratitude: We should respond to God’s grace with thankfulness and praise.
- Humility: Grace reminds us that we are entirely dependent on God.
- Freedom: We are freed from the burden of trying to earn God’s favor.
