Grace — Conditional Response
Grace is God's undeserved favor and saving provision in Jesus Christ. Salvation cannot be earned so that God owes it as wages. Yet grace is not permission to continue in sin: grace teaches Christians to deny ungodliness and live soberly, righteously, and godly. The New Testament therefore harmonizes grace, faith, obedience, and good works without turning obedient faith into human merit.
