- Gift of Salvation: Salvation is not earned but freely given by GOD. It’s a divine gift bestowed upon us, underscoring our dependence on His grace.
- Atonement for Sin: Through Christ’s sacrifice, our sins are forgiven, and reconciliation with GOD is made possible. His death on the cross paid the price for our shortcomings.
