Because your participation negates grace; it becomes conditioned on your response.
Eph 2: 8
8 For by grace you have been saved
Prety self explanitory. I have been saved solely by the grace of God
through faith,
But God will not force it on me. It is recieved through faith.
and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, 9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.
Again, prety self explanatory. The grace that saved me through me trusting him, is not of myself. and is not of works..
So why do you keep insisting that me recieving his grace gift negates grace? It is how we recieve grace.
the only other option is to reject it.
How do you reject grace?
1. Trying to work for it (not of works)
2. Outright rejection of it completely (Love your sin)
3. Denying you even need it (like the jews who denied Christ who came to save them)
and I am sure I can come up0 with other ways.
