Grace 5485


Grace, highest privilege. It means a gift or a favor, an unmerited and undeserved gift or favor.  

 

The favor and blessings of God; the undeserved and unmerited favor and blessings of God; the depth and richness of the heart and mind of God; the kindness and love that dwells within the very nature of God. God's grace covers all of life.

 

Grace: a term employed by the Biblical writers with a considerable variety of meaning:

 

Properly speaking that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, charm, sweetness, loveliness;

Good will, loving kindness, mercy etc;

the kindness of a master toward a slave.

 

Thus by analogy, it has come to signify the kindness of God to man

 

Grace is something that is God-given, made possible only by Jesus Christ and none other. It is God's gift of salvation granted to sinners for their salvation. The Christian teaching is that grace is God sending his son to die on a cross to give us eternal salvation.
