(Rom 1:5) “By whom we have received grace….” The grace (favor we receive but do not deserve) by which we receive salvation and day by day blessings, is all because of Jesus. It is because of His sinless life, He offering of Himself to die in your place, and it is because of His victory over the grave (v.4). I do not stand by any merit of my own. My merit is my Savior!
