Summary: For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast. While Jesus, through His death and resurrection, extends the gift of salvation to us, we must receive that gift by believing in Him and surrendering to His rule and reign in our lives. We demonstrate our faith in Jesus through a genuine heart of repentance, obedience to Him, baptism, and communion.
