Receive God's grace as unmerited favor. There is no way we can merit nor earn the favor of God. It comes to us only as the gift of God. Faith in Jesus Christ receives God's saving grace. Don't fall for the idea that we can somehow be good enough to merit God's favor. Grace is not for good people. It's for sinners, and that includes all of us. For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23).
Receive God's grace as salvation from the curse of sin and death, through Christ our Lord. God's saving grace works in all who believe on the Lord Jesus Christ (Acts 16:31). God's grace is received by faith in Christ (Ephesians 2:8-10).
Receive God's grace through the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:1-4). To receive the Gospel is to believe Christ died for your sins on the cross (Romans 5:8). To receive the Gospel is to believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ and confess him as Lord (Romans 10:9).
Receive God's grace as unmerited favor for sinners. Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners (1 Timothy 1:15). God's saving grace was revealed in Christ crucified for all our sins (1 John 1:7). By grace alone through faith alone, Jesus Christ our Lord saves sinners.
