Charles H. Spurgeon said, "Men need to be told that, unless divine grace brings them out of their enmity to God, they will eternally perish." He went on to say, "that if they are to be saved, it must be by grace, and by grace alone."
Spurgeon recognized that we are not saved by our works. If salvation is by works, we could boast of what we have done. However, salvation is by God's grace alone, which means it is the gift of God. Salvation is the finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ, and in Christ alone. If you are saved, it's by grace alone to the glory of God alone!
Spurgeon knew that if you are saved, it's by God's grace alone, not by grace plus your works. Some teach that salvation is initiated by God's grace and completed by our works. Not so. Salvation is by grace through faith in Christ. It's the gift of God and not of works (Ephesians 2:8-9). If you are saved, it's by God's grace alone in Christ alone.
Grace alone saves you through Christ as the gift of God (Romans 6:23). Faith receives the gift of God in Christ. The gift of grace is found in Christ alone. He alone died for our sins. He alone is risen from the dead as our living Lord. God's grace saves you through the finished work of Christ. If you are saved, it must be by grace, and by grace alone.
