What is meant by 'the grace of god'?

Answer 1

By God's gift---as in, by the grace of God, I am saved.

Answer 2

The grace of God refers to the fact that He doesn't need anything from any of us, nor does He owe anything to any of us, but because of his love and care and gracious nature, He provides all that we need and ultimately provided that which we all most desperately needed, when He sent his dear Son Jesus to pay our sin debt for us on a cross. That's the ultimate in someone being gracious to others. Here is how it is put in the Bible.

Luke 6:35 But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil.

1 John 4:9 In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. (10) In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Ephesians 2:8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, (9) not a result of works, so that no one may boast.

Graces at a Glance

name | Graces or Charites (CariteV)

role | goddesses who personified grace


Graces in Greek Mythology

As their name suggests, the Graces or Charites were personifications of grace and charm in Greek mythology. Indeed, the title Charites especially signifies the role these lovely goddesses played in myth and legend, for it is related to the Greek word charis (cariV), a word that literally means grace.

Although various sources for myth refer to different numbers of Graces of Charites, most often they are depicted as a trio. And each of these three goddesses represented an individual quality that was revered by the ancient Greeks. It was the poet Hesiod who named the Graces in his Theogony:


The Graces
They are the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome. There are three Graces: Aglaia (Splendor), Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Good Cheer). The are known for singing and dancing for the gods.

Graces

They are Euphrosyne (mirth), Thalia (good cheer), and Aglaea (splendor). Also known as the Charites.

Answer 4

There's a difference between 'grace' and 'mercy'. The grace of God means that He gave you something you didn't deserve (ie, getting into heaven) and mercy is NOT giving you something you deserved (like, you had it coming, you did something bad, but mom/dad was merciful and didnt punish you). Make sense? I hope so!

Answer 5

It is synonymous with the love of God, which is freely poured out for all.

John 1
16And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

Answer 6

Christendom has had men like “shepherd” kings, “shepherd” rulers, in posts of government. For these the clergy have made the claim that such political “shepherds” rule “by the grace of God.” Misguided by the clergy’s misinterpretation of the Holy Scriptures, many such rulers claimed “the divine right of kings.”

True, God has permitted such rulers to govern, but such permission does not mean any “Grace of God” to them or impart “divine right” to them. It is not mere divine permission that allows for a certain “one shepherd” to rule over the restored remnant of spiritual Israel

Jehovah himself directly sets him up over them, for that one has the “legal right.”—Ezekiel 21:27.

doubt as to the meaning but renders it “undeserved kindness
