We are saved by grace alone, by choosing Him.

So which is it? Are we saved by grace alone, or by our correct choice?

"That no flesh should glory in his presence.

But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:

That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." -- 1 Corinthians 1:29-31.

We cannot redeem ourselves; we cannot sanctify ourselves; we cannot make ourselves wise and we cannot make ourselves righteous.

All gifts from God.

We are saved by grace we choose. We cannot save ourselves except by surrendering to God's grace.

We cannot redeem ourselves; we cannot sanctify ourselves; we cannot make ourselves wise and we cannot make ourselves righteous.

We can't, but we can choose to let God work through us.
