Gospel?
God is holy. We are sinners.
To relate to God, we must be made holy.
God gives us grace, so we can try to be holy.
If we fail, God will forgive if we are truly sorry.

Sola Gratia
“Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath.
But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich
in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we
were dead in transgressions - it is by grace you have
been saved.”
Ephesians 2:3-5.
