    Grace. What is grace?
  • Curiosone - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    Sure, the Bible defines itself, not my words but GODS words - What is Grace - Titus 2:11, 12 - For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,

    12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

    It was God's Mercy, that he did not turn His back eternally from Adam and Eve, our fore-parents. They by choice like Satan separated themselves in pride. Yet God promised a way out of death eternal by providing grace to obey His way. His Way provided the Grace of Salvation by true faith and repentance thereby giving new life and hope for all children. Born again (with understanding) children provide grace to find the Way and thereby eternal life in Jesus Christ.

    It's handy to see G R A C E as an acronym: G od's R iches A t C hrist's E xpense.

    Though this definition does tend to limit a full understanding (if we can even hope to have) of God's great Grace, it does serve to show us that it is because of what Christ has done for us, as undeserving as we are (and is doing for us now in Heaven), that we enjoy His Favour each day right into eternity.

    Our God is God of Mercy (Mercy to all people) - and that Mercy translates into Grace (as an expression of God's Mercy). And that Grace is received by us, those who have responded to His Gift of Salvation.

    Grace is unmerited favor from God. We don't earn it or deserve it; but God chooses to bless us with it.

    Michael, is grace from God different from grace from man?
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    I think grace from one person to another is still grace unto God; and from God. Both giver and receiver are blessed.
  • UN-MERITED FAVOR OF GOD - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 3 years ago
    I believe, Matthew 25:35-40

    describes grace ( un-merited favor). Jesus is explaining difference between sheep and goats. Also the parable of the Good Samaritan, comes to mind; for examples.

    His ministry to people involved teaching, feeding, healing etc. He sent his disciples out, to do the same.

    If you mix practical, with the God kind of faith, you will produce grace and mercy.

    Mishael

    Grace is the expression of God's character.
