Receiving Grace
Grace is, therefore, not something we can earn. It is rather the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ that makes God’s grace and mercy available to us. In this video, Joel Woodruff gives insights reflecting on the unmerited favor that can only be received through faith. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8–9 (ESV)
