We cannot save ourselves from our sin, death and God’s wrath by our own strength, merits or power. Instead, we are declared righteous in God’s sight, forgiven of all our sin and granted eternal life on account of God’s grace in Jesus Christ. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9; Romans 3:21-28)
