(Rom 5:2) “By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.” It is certainly a sin to take pride in our faith. Yet, it seems that so many do. But notice closely, that faith is the door (access) where we enter the room of “grace”. Grace means “favor bestowed but not merited”. That very word “grace” says that your faith had no merit in itself.
