Grace, justification and holiness

Select a passage to highlight, add a note, or link it to a learning path.

Grace is God’s free gift, not something earned by independent human achievement. Justification forgives sin and brings a person into renewed life in Christ. Human cooperation is itself enabled by grace; it is neither irrelevant nor a competing source of salvation. The call to holiness reaches every Christian vocation and is lived through charity rather than a claim to spiritual superiority.
