Holiness of life begins with salvation from sin and the ____ of God's grace.

• A. Eternal mercy
• B. Saving grace
• C. Redemptive power
• D. Divine favor

Answer: (C)

Holiness of life rests on salvation from sin and the redemptive power of God's grace. Salvation delivers us from sin's penalty, but grace goes further by actively transforming and empowering the believer to live righteously. The redemptive power of grace is the dynamic force that redeems our nature, frees us from bondage to sin, and enables ongoing sanctification. Other phrases describe aspects of God's character or forgiveness, but they don’t capture the empowering, transformative energy that makes holy living possible.
