The utter helplessness of man and the sovereign intervention of God are what make grace a precious gift.

There are 4 things the Bible means when it says we are saved by grace:

1. Grace defines the inadequacy of the beneficiaries of salvation.

2. Grace defines the simplicity of the requirements of salvation.

3. Grace defines the disqualification of the self-righteous.

4. Grace defines the magnitude of God's favour.
