5. How far is the assistance of grace necessary to us?

It is so necessary to us that, without the grace of God, we can neither begin, continue, nor accomplish the least thing towards our salvation.

6. Why is grace so indispensable to everything that relates to salvation?

1. Because eternal salvation is a good of a supernatural order, and, consequently, can be obtained only by a supernatural power and help — that is, by grace; 2. Because by grace alone we enter into connection with Christ, and partake of His infinite merits, which are the source of everything that leads to salvation.

7. Does God give His grace to all men?

Yes; God gives to all men sufficient grace to enable them to keep, as they are in duty bound, the Commandments, and to work out their salvation.
