The Importance of Grace

Paul uses his final greeting to emphasize the main point of his whole letter when he gives his final greeting and it is about grace. Everything that we're called to do is based on grace. And this is massive friends because unlike the rest of culture, which tells you to do good in order to receive praise in return, the followers of Jesus are to do good because of what they've already been given. See doing good works is not a way of earning God's favor. The Christian gives away what they know belongs to God.
