You have probably already mapped the logic here. Grace is the input, faith is the means, works are deliberately excluded. You see the structure. The harder thing is letting it be true of you. Because the instinct runs deep: if something matters, you build the system that earns it. Salvation is the one thing that does not respond to that approach. It is not a problem to solve. It is a gift already given. You were not hired to construct your standing before God. You were created in Christ for works he prepared beforehand. The design was finished before you arrived.
