Grace – definition

Grace (from Holman bible dictionary):

  • Undeserved acceptance and love received from another
  • Although the biblical words for”grace” are used in a variety of ways, the most characteristic us is to refer to an undeserved favor granted by a superior to an inferior
  • When used of divine grace toward mankind, it refers to the undeserved favor of God in providing salvation for those deserving condemnation
  • In the more specific Christian sense it speaks of the saving activity of God which is manifested in the gift of His Son to die in the place of sinners
