10.By what means have we been saved?

By grace, by God’s mercy and love extended to us according to His own will and good pleasure.

Salvation always operates according to the foreknowledge and predestination of the Lord. Yet the human being must accept the Lord’s redemption; and every person remains accountable for his own moral choices.

When Christ is presented to us we are held to a strict accounting concerning whether we receive or reject Him, and concerning our choices and behavior during the remainder of our days on the earth.

Much is required of the person to whom much has been revealed.
