Notice that Grace, regarding Christianity, is something that God provides for free that only God can provide.
Grace is always a GIFT from God.
Here are 2.
1. The GIFT of Salvation.
2. The GIFT of Righteousness.
Now lets expand more of the terms that are all the MERCY of GOD as found in God's GRACE.
1. Eternal life
2. The Blood Atonement
3. Reconciliation to God.
4. The CROSS of Christ
5. Justification by Faith.
6. Sanctification
7. Redemption
8. Born Gain, as The New Birth
9. Being IN Christ
10, Being "One With God".
Now see those?
How many of those can you do?
How many of those, ....can you do for yourself?
A.) ZERO
So, all that is GOD's Part.
See that?
God's part is all that you can't do by SELF Effort.
God's part is what saves you, and your part is to be saved by God.
What do you call all this that God provides? .... You call it SALVATION and GOD's GRACE.
Its ALL that YOU CAN'T Do for yourself.
Now, anything you can do, as a believer, is YOUR PART., and you do it not to be saved, but because you already are, if you are not just water baptized, and are in fact Born Again.
And all that you just read in my list, is NOT your part, so, we define all THAT as GOD's GRACE, or : SALVATION.
See it?
Now, your part., what is that? As your part follows being Saved. It comes AFTER you are born again.
You are to live a good clean holy life, presenting your body...."AS a living Sacrifice."
And you do this, BECAUSE you HAVE Salvation, already.
So, God provided Salvation , which is that upper list....and you can't cause any of that, as that is GOD's GRACE and GOD's Mercy, and God's Power, and God's GIFT.
So what we understand is that God's part, is not our part.
God's part is to supply all that WE can't do, of ourselves, like being SAVED.... Like being "made righteous", like being given the Holy Spirit, like being given Eternal life.
What we do, after we have God's Salvation..... is supply our DISCIPLESHIP, which is our self effort part.
And we supply this BECAUSE WE ARE ALREADY SUPPLIED GOD's Salvation. (Born Again).
See it?
He did that Part, God supplied our SALVATION....and we then work on our discipleship BECAUSE He has ALREADY given us all that IS OUR SALVATION, as "the GIFT of Salvation"
