For proper biblical understanding and clear spiritual vision, believers must have a grasp on the nature of grace. God offers it to us whether we deserve it or not; He even extends it to those who have not been saved. Our behavior has nothing to do with receiving grace; our faith has everything to do with it. Salvation has been made available to everyone on the planet, even to those who have not been born again. Jesus died for sinners; God is now appealing to mankind to accept Him and believe in what He did for all of us. Falling from grace is not falling into sin the way religion tells us, but instead falling back into self-effort and trusting in ourselves more than in God. Believing in God and in what He did, instead of in our own works, makes us righteous before Him.
