Men are saved by grace alone. Salvation is of the Lord (Jonah 2:9). All of God, none of man. Because God's perfect justice was satisfied by Christ's finished work on the cross, God is now free to be gracious to hell-deserving sinners. Grace is God's favor and kindness freely bestowed on those who are totally undeserving of His merciful benefits! (Titus 3:4)

A description of God's grace: "The kindness and love of God our Savior toward men" even the foolish, disobedient, deceived, serving divers lusts and pleasures, living in envy, hateful and hating one another man. (Ephesians 2:1,5). We aren't worthy of the least of His favors, yet He willingly died for the ungodly. (Romans 5:8).

While all religions are based upon man attempting to achieve salvation through his own works, grace excludes any kind of human works. (Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8-9). Religion is man seeking to bring himself to God, which is an impossibility. Salvation is God's sacrifice on the cross. (1 Peter 3:18)

Not only is our salvation totally dependent upon the grace of God, but also is living the Christian life. (1 Corinthians 15:10; 2 Corinthians 9:8). We are debtors to God's grace! We are saved by grace alone (not of works lest any man should boast).
