This grace is not deserved, and it cannot be earned by our 'good works'. As this grace of God is received through faith, it results in liberation and new life for people. Corporately, the Church exists to give expression to this central truth of the Gospel in all its activities, and to invite people, through personal faith and commitment, to realise what it may mean in their living. The Bible is at the heart of the worship, witness and service of the Uniting Church. It does not exist for its own sake.
