What Does the Bible Say About Grace?

The Bible says that grace is the free and unearned favor of God toward those who could never deserve it. At the heart of the Christian faith stands the truth that we are saved by grace through faith, not by our own works, so that no one can boast. Grace is a gift, given through Jesus Christ, who brought both grace and truth to a world held captive by sin.

The Bible also shows that grace does not end at salvation. God's grace is sufficient for every weakness, meeting us at the throne of grace in our time of need and perfecting His strength in our frailty. Far from giving us license to sin, this grace teaches us to live godly lives, transforming us from the inside out. Where sin abounded, Scripture promises, grace abounded all the more.
