In this passage we learn that we are saved by God’s grace alone. It is not by anything we have done, but by what God has done for us in Jesus. When we believe Jesus as our Lord and Savior, God forgives our sins, purifies our hearts, and gives us the Holy Spirit. It is totally God’s grace. This grace makes us thankful to God. This grace enables us to work hard for God’s world mission purpose. This grace enables us to embrace others with love and respect.
