Paul is done explaining that salvation is by faith and so in this episode, he explains two things. First, he explains that as Christians, there is a call to persecution. We will have to stand for our faith and it would not always be easy. He however assures us that it will be worth it. It will be worth it because we are doing it all for Christ. Next, he explains that salvation is by grace the entire way. He tells us that if while we were at our worst, Christ loved us so much, he will definitely love us while we are on our journey.
