Grace is the free, God-determined gift born out of Christmas and God alone. It’s a gift to the response of faith. A Reward, for work we didn’t do.

• Light may cast a shadow, but its purpose is to illuminate.
• Faith is a prerequisite for the gift of grace.
• We rest spiritually with Christ where he rests physically, in Heaven.
• We can have confidence that our salvation is finalized at the point of faith, because of what Christ accomplished on the cross.
