Grace and Faith

Grace is God's unearned favour — giving what is not deserved, based entirely on his character and not on human merit. In Christianity, salvation is received by grace through faith, not achieved by works. This is one of the most distinctive and challenging ideas Christianity presents to anyone raised in a works-based religious framework.

To be born again means God gives a person new spiritual life by the Holy Spirit. It is not merely becoming religious; it is the inward renewal that leads to faith in Jesus and a changed life.
