Saving grace is offered to all, because we have all sinned (Romans 3:23). There is no way we can merit nor earn the favor of God. It comes to us only as a gift to be freely received "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast" (Ephesians 2:8-9). Faith in Jesus Christ receives God's saving grace. Don't fall for the idea that you can somehow be good enough to merit God's gift.
God's common grace is for all. Common grace gives rain with fruitful seasons to all people. Every provision we all have is by God's common grace. However, God's saving grace is only for believers in Christ. God works in and through us to do His will by saving grace. John Newton referred to saving grace as "amazing grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me."
The only way that we can have a personal relationship with God is by grace. He must reveal himself to us and in us. That has been appropriately called amazing grace. It's not what we do for God. It's what God has done for us in Christ. All that we are or ever hope to be is by grace alone.
Every believer's testimony echoes the words of the apostle Paul,"But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me was not in vain" (First Corinthians 15:10). Saving grace gives all the glory to God. It's always by grace alone, and never earned by our works. That's God's saving grace.
