Rom 11.5 So too at the present time there is a remnant, chosen by grace.
Rom 11.6 But if it is by grace, then it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace would no longer be grace.
Charis is a voluntary act of favor or an unprompted gift. This is how God's salvation is described in the Bible—a voluntary act of grace that he gives to the world. It cannot be earned or lost; it is a gift to be received by trusting in Jesus.
