The Church today is the care-taker of the
message that God has a gift for a world
that comes on a free basis.
No work of man [before, during, or after
salvation] is a part of that salvation. And
it doesn't make his eternal life any more
sure.
This is the day of grace and salvation, and
salvation is by grace only. So the Gospel
of grace is the message that everlasting
life is available to all by faith alone!
