Salvation By Grace

Romans 4:16
That is why it depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and l be guaranteed to all his offspring—not only to the adherent of the law but also to the one who shares the faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all,
“That is why” points to the special relationship between faith and grace: Faith means trusting in another, not in one’s own efforts. Faith therefore corresponds exactly to grace, which involves trusting God’s gift of unmerited favor. The adherent of the law refers to the Jewish believer in Christ.
