Grace is a person ---God is full of Grace -----In the Old testament God showed His Grace to the Israelites Mega times ----as they were an ungrateful lot of people ---always complaining ---always disobeying God -speaking their anger towards God -----and yet He displayed His Grace and Mercy towards them restraining His Anger and continuing to shower them with His Agape (Love )--shower them with His Grace and Mercy as His Chosen Nation


In the New Testament Jesus came Full of Grace and Truth ---so Jesus is Grace ----

  • God's gift
    The Bible describes God's grace as a gift that's given freely and without expectations.

  • God's mercy
    The Bible describes God's grace as a result of his mercy and compassion, not based on what people do.

  • God's sufficiency
    The Bible describes God's grace as never running out and being enough for any situation.
The Hebrew word khanun is related to the Hebrew word khen, which is often translated as "grace" or "favor". The Bible shows that the highest form of grace is when favor is given to those who don't deserve it.

Titus 2:11-14
11 For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. 12 It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, 13 while we wait for the blessed hope—the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, 14 who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good.

Thats grace.

The substance of things not seen of flesh and blood normally, Thanks Brother for the post assuredly with the scripture of truth to be assured, Father is working it out through those that will not quit belief to God in risen Son for them.
Philippians 1:6
And I am sure that God who began the good work within you will keep right on helping you grow in his grace until his task within you is finally finished on that day when Jesus Christ returns.

The below scripture
Is for sure teaching me this has been and has never stopped, at least I see this happening has happened for me from God in love to us all
1 Thessalonians 4:9
  1. But concerning the pure brotherly love that there should be among God’s people, I don’t need to say very much, I’m sure! For God himself is teaching you to love one another.

Grace is unmerited favor towards another.

God has chosen to love us.....there is no reasonable explanation for this other than he chooses to.
God is full of grace he chooses mercy over judgment. Life over death. Light over darkness. Righteousness over evil...ect

Jesus is God's grace to mankind. Abraham said the Lord himself shall provide the sacrifice.
Grace is found in the very creation of man when the Lord said .."let us make man in our image".
Man kind could of been created without so what does being created in the Lords image mean to God and to us?
It means God (Jesus).. is our kinsman redeemer mankind's goel.
