This passage really reframes hope as something recieved rather than earned. The distinction between mercy-based salvation vs action-based salvation is pretty counter-cultural, especially when modern spirituality often leans into self-improvement frameworks. I've noticed in my own life how easy it is to default to a checklist mentality, but texts like this remind us its more about acceptance than achievement.

Yes! We are only saved because of God's mercy. The longer I follow Jesus the gracious I realize He is. He is my hope:) Thanks for commenting.
