Lailah Gifty AkitaThe gift of God is grace.
About This Quote
The gift of God is grace. Grace is something that we receive from God and we might think that we give to others as well. The Bible says: “For by grace you have been saved through faith and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” (Eph 2:8-9). In this scripture, it says grace is a gift from God and not a result of works which means it wasn’t something we earned. It also says it isn’t something someone can boast about since no one should boast about anything they have done.
