It's a clear case of both:
Salvation is entirely of grace. Jesus Christ is God's gift of Grace. But in order for a gift to be a gift, it must be both freely given and freely received. God freely gives - have you freely received his gift?
1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
Jhn 17:8 For I have given unto them the words which thou gave st me; and they have received [them], and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.
Mat 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
1Cr 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
