There are many exhortations in the Bible for the recipients of God’s unconditional grace to remain faithful to the end, so, in a very real sense, maintaining faith is a condition of the CG. But the Bible clearly teaches that even saving faith is a gracious gift from God (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Kuna mawaidha mengi katika Biblia kwa wapokeaji wa neema ya Mungu bila masharti kubaki waaminifu hadi mwisho, kwa maana halisi, kudumisha imani ni hali ya agano la neema. Lakini Biblia inafundisha wazi kwamba hata imani ya kuokoa ni zawadi ya neema kutoka kwa Mungu (Waefeso 2:8-9).
