III. Merit
2009
Filial adoption, in making us partakers by grace in the divine nature, can bestow
true merit on us as a result of God’s gratuitous justice. This is our right by
grace, the full right of love, making us “co-heirs” with Christ and
worthy of obtaining “the promised inheritance of eternal
life.”60 The merits of our good works are gifts of the divine
goodness.61 “Grace has gone before us; now we are given what is
due…. Our merits are God’s gifts.”62
