The word Grace is by far one of my favorite words. I just love the way that it sounds, it's so delicate sounding. For a word that is so delicate it sure is powerful!

The Bible dictionary says this:

Grace :

1. Properly speaking that which affords joy, pleasure, delight, charm, sweetness,
loveliness.
2. Good will, loving-kindness, mercy.
The kindness of a master toward a slave. Thus by analogy, grace has come to signify the kindness of God to man.

In addition the work "grace" is given to someone who doesn't deserve it, hence undeserved favor, especially that kind or degree of favor bestowed on sinners through Jesus Christ. Grace, therefor is that unmerited favor of God toward fallen man whereby, for the sake of Christ the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth he has provided for man's redemption. He has from all eternity determined to extend favor toward all who have faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.


Ephesians 2 :8

8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God.

Like I said Grace is by far one of my favorite words.

God Bless,
