Romans 11:6

Jesus is the physical manifestation of the truth of God’s  grace. Rest in His grace.


Salvation is the gift of a loving Father to all who will accept that Jesus died for their sins so that they did not have to. It has never been  about our worthiness it is all about His.


Romans 4:4 Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt


Just like Israel, God's people today are: 1.) chosen by Him, 2.) freed from bondage, 3.) offered the righteousness of Jesus and the presence of His Holy Spirit, and 4.) taught to walk by faith on our journey. Which of these four undeserved gifts do you need to live in more fully today? First5 


Romans 11:6

6 And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work. The New King James Version


Paul reminds his audience that God’s election of a remnant is based on His grace, and not on works. Faithlife Study Bible


Grace and works are mutually exclusive. God’s election was established solely on the basis of grace. The NKJV Study Bible 


Every truly good disposition in a fallen creature must be the effect, therefore it cannot be the cause, of the grace of God bestowed on him. Salvation from the first to the last must be either of grace or of debt. These things are so directly contrary to each other that they cannot be blended together. Matthew Henry’s Concise Commentary
