Romans 5:8
But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Timothy 1:13-14
Even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief; and the grace of our LORD was more than abundant, with the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2:8-10
For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not of works, so that no one may boast.
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand so that we would walk in them.

2 Corinthians 12:9
And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness.” Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast in my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.
