Grace is only fully revealed through God’s plan of salvation and most of all The 8th Day. First: Just what is grace? Second: We will focus on the biblical reality that salvation comes only through God's grace. Third: We will see that it's God's stated goal that all humans will receive the grace of salvation through Jesus Christ. The second resurrection is for the countless billions who have lived and died since the time of Adam, to whom God will extend His full grace just as He has extended it to a small elect since creation.
