Jesus our savior: For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God
The apostle Paul teaches us in his epistle to the Ephesians the mysteries of the grace, which we access through faith. The Christian faith requests us to live the charisms, but the spiritual gifts are not like the virtues of the soul, because they are supernatural gifts, and as perfections from above they are beyond our efforts, that is why faith is also a doctrine of mysteries.
The apostle of the gentiles teaches us that the Lord for his great love and eternal wisdom instills in us through baptism that faith that puts us in a spiritual race; we leave behind what ties us to the world and to the flesh, that is, to fear and greed, to enter into the realities of the spirit that are benevolence, fear of God, and empathy, Jesus is our savior: "But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved" Ephesians 2:4-5.
The Kingdom of God implies a change of mentality, because passions tie us to the slavery of error and suffering, but the good love (Agape) leads us to the promises of God (Matthew 5:1-12). Entering into the Kingdom of God means leaving the moral virtues like Justice and the commandments of Moses behind to be precise and accurate people (that is, condition of truth) and with a progressive mentality (condition of way) as Jesus explains in John 14:6: "I am the way, the truth, and the life."
Faith, Paul insists, is the most important gift we can receive as Christians and followers of Jesus: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from you; it is the gift of God, it is not from works, so no one may boast. For we are his handiwork created in Christ Jesus for the good works that God has prepared in advance, that we should live in them" Ephesians 2:8-10.
