“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.” (Titus 2:11 NIV)

Grace is God’s unmerited favor—His kindness and blessing given to us, not because we deserve it, but because He is good. We did nothing to earn it and could never work for it. Grace is God’s mercy in action, shown most clearly when He sent His Son to die on the cross to rescue sinners and give us eternal life.

“In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace.” (Eph. 1:7 NIV)

Grace is received by faith

“This righteousness is given through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe… all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” (Romans 3:22–24 NIV)

Grace cannot be earned. It is received—by trusting in Jesus Christ alone.

You are saved by grace

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.” (Ephesians 2:8–9 NIV)

Salvation is a gift, not a reward. Even our good works come after we are saved, not before.

Grace came through Jesus

“For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.” (John 1:17 NIV)

The law shows us our need. Jesus brings us grace.

Grace brings the gift of righteousness

“How much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!”
