Grace saved us as the gift of God's salvation. It is not our works, but the work of God in Christ. Grace is not something that we deserve, but God freely gives us (Ephesians 2:8-9). Grace takes away all our sins at the cross of Jesus (1 John 1:7). Grace gives us the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:21). Grace gives us faith to trust in Christ (Philippians 1:29).
Grace saved us as the gift of God in Christ. He is the fullness of grace (John 1:16). Believing on the Lord Jesus is receiving the grace of God. Preceding grace awakens us to our need to believe in Christ (John 16:7-11). Grace enables you to believe on Christ (Acts 15:9-11). Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.
Grace saved us as the gift of God's unmerited favor in Christ. Grace is the gift of salvation that you receive through the gospel of Christ. Grace can never be bought, earned, nor achieved through personal effort. Grace is always bestowed by the God of all grace. Grace gives you eternal life in Christ (Romans 6:23).
Grace saved us as the gift of God's Spirit changing our hearts. The Spirit of grace operates directly on our hearts, to change us from the inside out. God's grace changes our mind to understand the things of God (Romans 12:2). Grace changes our will to desire God's good will (Philippians 2:13). Grace changes our emotions to have a tender heart toward God (Ezekiel 36:26).
