“I don’t remember how it’s said, whether belief is a gift or a grace from God”

BOTH

Ephesians 2:8 King James Version (KJV)

8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Grace is and unmerited gift from God.

Thanks! Definitely unmerited in my sad case for a human.

In fact, looking at how things are now after how they were for so very long, I can't explain any of it other than by the Grace of God.

Not by my efforts or merit, that's for sure...which reminds me, I need to go re-read Job again.

Perspective is everything.
