“Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” If you have experienced the grace of God, that means you’ve been saved. For it is by grace are we saved. And you have come as a lost sinner, bringing nothing to God, and receiving everything from Him, then you’ve experienced the grace of God. He offers you salvation. The gift of God is eternal life, and you can’t work for a gift. If you do, it ceases to be a gift and it’s something you work for; it’s a payment. God is offering you¬—a lost, hell-doomed sinner—a salvation if you trust Him, and that’s grace.
