From my scripture reading this morning, a clarifying verse jumped out at me as really focusing in on what salvation is all about.
In Romans 10 Paul lays out how salvation is open to all, Jew and Gentile. He writes:
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.” – Romans 10:4-5
What he is saying is now it is not about works or how closely to a “T” you follow the law. But that it is through God’s gift of grace through faith in His Son, Jesus Christ.
It is really that simple, and yet a hard step for some of us to give up our self-reliance and humble ourselves by putting the “unseen” God above us and as number one in our lives.
“That if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” – Romans 10:9
Christ is the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14), through faith in Him you will be saved.
“Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.” – Matthew 7:13-14
It is the only “works” that God requires for eternal salvation. All works are a show of gratitude for God’s gift of salvation and to store up treasures in heaven.
Peace be with you,

This is a great sermon series that I think really solidifies God’s gift of grace in our lives and how we are truly saved through God’s grace, not our works. He touches on many of the stumbling blocks we as christians have run into as we manuever through this world.
Very positive and thought-provoking. It is a message you can listen to again and again.
Enjoy!

The Glorious Grace of God Part 1
By Todd Baker
The grace of God is a fundamental aspect of salvation and is the sole means by which man’s redemption is accomplished. The renowned classic hymn “Amazing Grace” is the best known hymn of the Christian Church and has been universally heard by both Christian and non-Christian alike. But what exactly is so amazing about this grace?
Like many theological words, the word and use of “grace” is one of the several common words Christians frequently use in their witness and testimony to the unbeliever without really defining and explaining what it exactly means. Grace has routinely been defined as the undeserved favor of God shown to man. A more precise definition would be to add an additional feature to that by stating: The single source for this grace flows from God the Father through the incarnation of God the Son made effectual by the work of God the Holy Spirit in the heart of the one who believes. It is by this free and unmerited grace that sinners are forgiven, justified, and declared in right standing before God as objects of His
