Grace is the core distinctive of life in Christ, and it focuses on the reality that God has pursued us and loves us without condition. Through grace, God saves, accepts, redeems, and frees us. Rather than focusing on performance or on the attempt to attain perfection for perfection‘s sake, our faith is to be lived out in our relationship with the Trinity, moment by moment. As sinners apart from God, we did not deserve His grace, but He freely gives His grace to us through faith, forgives us, and draws us to know and love Him.
