Sola Gratia – Salvation is by grace alone, the unmerited undeserved unearned favor and kindness of God toward sinners. Salvation is not in any way or in any part produced or preserved by man's works, will, effort, or anything inherent in man. Salvation is not by God's grace plus any human achievement, but it's solely by the sovereign grace of Divine accomplishment. God's grace alone also preserves true believers so that they will persevere in the faith and will never finally fall away and abandon the faith. This “preservation of the saints” is also by God's grace alone so that salvation is neither gained nor maintained by any human efforts. A Christian's good words are the result of God's good work begun in us. - God's grace alone is the only reason we are not still dead in our trespasses and sins, deceived by false thinking (“but for the grace of God …”) - God's grace is the sole source, not only of our eternal life, but of every breath we take and our life in general – we owe all to grace - We who believe so strongly in grace must show that same grace to others
