#1.) "For by grace...are you saved....through faith....and that not of yourselves...it is a gift of God", (Ephesians 2:8).
Look at what it is really saying here. Through faith you have grace from God, as it is a free gift from God.
Now, "FAITH...comes from hearing...and hearing from the word of God", (Romans 10:17).
So...by the study of God's word, the Bible.....you gain faith.
The Bible says: "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy..", (Exodus 20:8-11).....God's 4th commandment.
Faith, then understands what scripture says......BUT, IT TAKES Grace....to do it.
Now, we come to point ....
#2.) By whom we have received grace....for obedience...to the faith...among all nations", (Romans 1:5).
When a person refuses to obey God's 4th commandment, God warns:
"We then beseech you as workers together with him...that you receive not...the grace of God in vain", (2 Corinthians 6:1).
