God makes it clear-enabling is essential

Romans 11:6 “And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.” God used our author to make a definite and absolute point—you and I are saved by grace.  You and I can do nothing –nothing- to earn salvation.  God enables each of us to have a relationship with Himself only because of His love for each of us.  Normally we would conclude enabling is something we should not do.  God says without enabling we are lost—He is the Greatest Enabler to ever exist.  Thank God for His love, His enabling character and His having saved us by His grace alone.
