What is Grace?

Salvation makes us alive, sets us free, and puts us in good standing with God. This salvation is produced through God’s grace, delivered through faith in Christ Jesus and the work He did on our behalf. As Alistair Begg points out, when Paul wrote “By grace you have been saved,” he was describing a present state based on a past activity. This grace has transformative, life-giving power—but only for those who know they desperately need it!
