Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Saved by grace.

Once again understanding of a word comes from your positional condition. Grace to the world’s point of view means elegance or refinement of movement, perhaps a period of time you are not penalized for a late payment, as in grace period. In Christ it is the unmerited favor of God. That means we can do nothing to earn salvation, that man cannot save himself.

Matthew 19:25-26 When his disciples heard it, they were exceedingly amazed, saying, Who then can be saved? But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

We are told in this world that nothing is free, everything comes with a cost. You have to earn your way in this world. The world owes you nothing, you have to earn your way in this world. Once again, I must answer that is positional, you being in the world. To enter into His Glorious Kingdom which is not of this world, you cannot enter in by earning it.

John 18:36 Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

If His Kingdom is not of this world and I cannot earn my way to salvation, how can I change my position from this world to that Kingdom?

James 2:5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him?

I love you.

Three words that changed the world forever.
