Grace is not a cloud-like substance that floats around. It is not an impersonal power or force in our world. Grace is found in Jesus Christ. For us to have grace to be saved we must have Jesus and be in Jesus. Union with Christ is a key part of how we are saved. Our lives are hidden with Christ and in Him we are connected by the Spirit of God. It is because of our connection to Christ that we are able to have His work credited to us and our sins taken away. It is by the real connection we have to the Son of God that our lives are transformed and we are held with God and His people forever.
