The doctrines of grace are the biblical teachings that
define the goal and means of God's perfect work of redemption.
They tell us that
God is the one who saves, for His own glory, and freely.
And they tell us that
He does so only through Christ, only on the basis of His grace, only with the perfection that marks everything the Father, Son, and Spirit do.
The doctrines of grace separate the Christian faith from the works‑based religions of men.
They direct us away from ourselves and solely to God's grace and mercy.
They destroy pride, instill humility, and exalt God.
