Chapter 2 ✅ QSA: Application: tough one to put in words of application but the main point is that we are saved by grace thru faith and not by works. On a personal note before Christ, I was spiritually dead and separated from God, with no way to save myself. But God did not leave me in that condition. Because of His great love, mercy, and grace, He gave me new life through Jesus Christ. Now knowing that my salvation is a gift and not something I can earn fills me with gratitude and humility and leads me to not obey God because I am trying to be saved but because He has already saved me. Through Christ, I have been brought near to God, accepted into His family, and given a new identity. This gives me hope, peace, and a sense of belonging. As one who belongs to Him now I wanna live in a way that reflects His love.
