Our response to God’s grace is a cornerstone of our life together as a Christian academic community. We are not saved by obeying a list of do’s and don’ts, but by grace through faith in Christ.
God even gives us the faith that trusts him. We receive that grace through faith alone. Our best efforts can never be good enough to earn salvation, but God declares us righteous for Christ’s sake. Grace alone means that God loves, forgives, and saves us not because of who we are or what we do, but because of the work of Christ.
God’s Word says that we are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus and not by our own efforts or works (Ephesians 2:8-9).
