God's grace applies salvation through the Holy Spirit. He is known also as the Spirit of grace (Hebrews 10:29). The Holy Spirit works in your heart to have a personal relationship with Christ. Your mind is enlightened. The Spirit of grace enables us to confess Jesus is Lord (1 Corinthians 12:3).
The Spirit of grace applies salvation in Christ. It is "the grace of God that brings salvation" (Titus 2:11). Grace is the goodness of God leading us to repentance (Romans 2:4). Grace is the gift of God in Christ received by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9).
The Spirit of grace does not force us to believe in Christ. God's grace works in and through our will, but never to do violence to our will. Without this work of God's grace, your will is in bondage to sin and unable to repent and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
The Spirit of grace applies salvation, not our works. "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you both to will and do for His good pleasure" (Philippians 2:12-13). We don't work for our salvation. We work out what God has worked in us. That is the grace of God in Christ.
The Spirit of grace brings us to repentance and faith in Christ. It is all of grace (Ephesians 2:5, 8-10). Grace is the way God initiates our salvation. We are enabled by the Spirit of grace to respond to the gospel of Christ (John 16:7-11; Acts 15:11).
