What It Means to Be Saved by Grace

Even people who know salvation is a gift can quietly start bargaining with God through good behaviour, religious effort, pride, or guilt. Romans 3 strips away that bargain: everyone has sinned, and no one can earn a right standing with God by keeping His law. Grace is truly free because the Father graciously sent Jesus, whose death paid sin's penalty and upheld God's righteousness, so those who trust Christ are justified. Grace leaves no place for compensating God or punishing oneself. Bible Reference: Romans 3:21–26 Preacher: KJ Tromp
