Our Faith, His Grace: God’s Genius for Salvation
Mark Drabenstott

That is why it [our eternal inheritance] depends on faith, in order that the promise may rest on grace and be guaranteed … to those who share the faith of Abraham.   Rom. 4:16-17

In the end, salvation is from God and through His Son.  Yet from the beginning, God’s genius has been a carefully designed combination of two critical ingredients: Our faith and His grace.  Each is necessary, yet neither is sufficient by itself.  What is God’s intelligent design for salvation?  What can we learn about our God from understanding better His design?  What kind of faith does God want us to supply to the saving mix?  How do we comprehend the grace that God showers on us?  Above all, given God’s exquisite design, what motivates our life and what kind of disciples should we be?  The purpose of this class is to help us seize salvation and live a life cradled in the balance.
