Saving Grace
I have heard numerous times people speaking about saving faith, I am one who believes, we obtain that kind of faith, what I would call true faith because of saving grace. We are capable of loving God, being obedient and accepting the salvation that our Lord and savior Jesus Christ provides on our behalf, because of faith. True faith inspires love, requires obedience and seeks to do the will of God. Let us put this in perspective.
Romans 8:1-4
8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
8:2 For the law of the life-giving Spirit2 in Christ Jesus has set you3 free from the law of sin and death. 8:3 For God achieved what the law could not do because4 it was weakened through the flesh. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and concerning sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, 8:4 so that the righteous requirement of the law may be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.
You see the saving grace of Jesus Christ, comes to those who walk, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. True faith will lead you away from worldly desires and draw you into the saving grace. It will pull you away from the bondage of sin and carry you into the freedom of salvation.
Romans 3:22-24
3:22 namely, the righteousness of God through the faithfulness of Jesus Christ
for all who believe. For there is no distinction, 3:23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. 3:24 But they are justified29 freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.
So you see, it is in fact true faith which will lead you to the saving grace found in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
Grace be with you
