You cannot find in the bible anywhere Jesus
is ever quoted as to saying where anyone is saved by grace.
If we are saved by grace, do you not think you would be
able to find it at least once in the bible where Jesus is
quoted as to saying, "we are saved by grace". Don't that seem a little
suspicious to you that something is not right?
Sorry but no where in that verse is the word "grace"
or the term "saved by grace". Besides all that it is written
that God is going to destroy that same world with fire
in the old and new testament.
So how is that verse even true anymore in
the scheme of things? Please explain?

The word grace is not used in that passage, but’s that what it is describing.
This is a word used frequently within Christianity, and with very good reason. But it seems that it's another one of those terms we Christians don't seem to be in agreement on as to what it actually means. Without just saying, "We're saved by grace," explain what you believe "grace" actually is.
Grace is the empowering Presence and Power of God which enables us to be who He created us to be; and to do what He has called us to do. It has nothing to do with his mercy (unmerited favor) or that of a Penal Substitution theory. Rather, it is that which enables us to overcome, any and all obstacles that might be hindering our Spiritual growth and maturity. Unmerited favor, would be that of having or showing mercy and forgiveness to an enemy through that of love. Especially, one who spitefully persecutes you, "father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."

Jesus expressed the concept of grace in salvation without using the word 'grace' when he said to the Samaritan woman that if she knew the gift of God and had asked him he would have given her living water springing up to eternal life. The gift refers to eternal life and all she had to do was ask for it which she then did. (John 4:10-15).
1 John 3:8
He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning.
1 John 3:9
Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him:
and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.
Neither verse has anything to do with the concept of grace. Eternal salvation is a free gift as both Jesus and Paul stated. Revelation 22:17 as well states that eternal life is free . . .without cost.
Eternal life is free. It is discipleship which is costly. They are two different things.
