"It is by grace you have been saved!" Ephesians 2:5

All the links of the golden chain of salvation are made up of free grace! The people of God are . . .
- freely loved, Deuteronomy 7:6-8;
- freely chosen, John 15:16-19, Ephesians 1:4;
- freely accepted, Ephesians 1:6;
- freely adopted, Ephesians 1:5, Galatians 4:5-6;
- freely reconciled, 2 Corinthians 5:18-20;
- freely justified, Romans 3:24;
- freely saved, Ephesians 2:5, 8.

Free grace is the foundation of all spiritual and eternal mercies. Free grace is the solid bottom and foundation
of all a Christian's comfort in this world. Were we to measure the love of God to us by . . .
- our fruitfulness,
- our holiness,
- our humbleness,
- our spiritualness,
- our heavenly-mindedness, or
- our gracious behavior towards Him

--How would our hope and our confidence be every moment staggered--if not vanquished!

But all is of grace--of free grace! O sirs! it is free grace . . .
- which will strengthen you in all your duties,
- which will sweeten all your mercies,
- which will support you under all your changes,
- which will arm you against all temptations!

"For it is by grace you have been saved!" Ephesians 2:8
