GRACE ACCESSED BY FAITH by steve finnell
Faith to believe is
not imputed to individuals because they have been saved by grace alone.
Grace is available to all men because Jesus died on the cross. Grace is
only applied to those who obey God's terms for pardon. Grace is accessed
by faith. Faith is not accessed by grace.
Romans 5:1-2
Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 through whom also we have access by
faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the
glory of God. (NKJV)
Grace is accessed through faith.
The progression to God's grace.
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJV)
Only the saved are under God's grace.
