Y'know how we always say by grace through faith, and we put that invisible comma behind the word grace. But I've realised that the verse actually reads
"For it is by grace you have been saved through faith." (ESV)
Now read that in one breath, what naturally links? For it is by grace - you have been saved through faith. Something like that eh?
Saved through faith, yes, but only by grace.
That a Gentile like me, like us, could be saved.
On another note, this is crazy, but it's the last week of formal lessons, EVER, in RGS.
I remember in Sec2 I blogged a whole list of lasts. But this is really the last of the last. It's marking the beginning of the last chapter. There's still so many things, but at the same time, so few.
