“God saved you by His grace when you believed. And you can't take credit for this; it is a gift from God.” (Ephesians 2:8 NLT)
Life is not an aimless groping. We are called. "By His grace" means that God does not look around to see who will best suit His purposes and then single them out because He is pretty sure that they will do a good job. It means that God has a capacity so large in love and purpose that He calls us in order to do something for us -- to give us something. Grace.
