Those of us that enjoy the history of the reformation and the doctrines that were recaptured during that time period are fond of the Latin phrase Sola Gratia, which means that we are saved by grace alone in Christ. All of salvation, every aspect of it, all of Christ's works to secure it for us, all the gifts given to us that we may be saved....well, they're all by the grace of God. Our salvation would not be possible had the Son of God not become flesh. In fact, Scripture refers to the incarnation as one of the gracious things Christ has done to secure us a right standing with the Father.
2 Corinthians 8:9 For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, yet for your sake he became poor, so that you by his poverty might become rich.
How rich we are because of the grace of the incarnation. I pray that your Christmas is filled with more of God's grace.
