Grace produces faith that works.  Ephesians 2:8-19

Grace and Faith

Grace basically means unmerited, undeserved favor. It’s important to understand that grace has nothing to do with you earning anything from God. God established His grace toward man before the foundation of the world. Grace existed long before you ever came to be. To put it simply, grace is God’s part.  Grace demonstrates God's love, mercy, and compassion toward humanity. It shows His willingness to reach out to people despite their imperfections and failures. Grace is when God loves is spite of and not because of. Grace is what is establishing daily in the lives of the believers.  Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

Faith is your positive response to what God has already provided for us by grace. In other words, faith is basically your way of saying yes to God’s grace. Faith only appropriates what God has already provided for you. Therefore, faith is your part.Faith is the core of Christianity and the Christian life. While the Bible has much to say about it, faith is a challenging concept to define. A biblical definition of faith reaches beyond mere belief—the simple acknowledgment that God exists, and He is who He said He is can do all that He He can do—into the realm of total trust and reliance on Him.
