Answer 1

Grace is the free and undeserved gift that God gives us to respond to our vocation to become his adopted children.

As sanctifying grace, God shares his divine life and friendship with us in a habitual gift, a stable and supernatural disposition that enables the soul to live with God, to act by his love.

With love in Christ.

Answer 2

Grace is unwarranted mercy. Grace cannot be earned or bought. True grace comes from God only and it is a free gift. It is through the cross and the blood of Christ that grace is available to us. All one has to do is ask for it and it is his/hers. If grace had to be earned, there would not be enough time in a person's lifetime to earn it. If grace had to be bought, there is not enough money in the world to buy it for one person. It must be given away, therefore, if it is to be distributed at all.

Answer 3

Grace is receiving what you don't deserve instead of what you do deserve. Romans 5:17 doesn't baffle my mind at all. The only thing that it does for me is to make me grateful that Jesus sacrificed himself so that I could be saved through his grace. He did something freely out of love for me that I don't deserve but would be lost forever without.

Answer 4

Once saved always saved is nowhere in the Bible. Faith justifies initially, but works perfect and complete our salvation. If all it takes to be saved is "to confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead" (Romans 10,9) then why must I change? Oh sure, I should change my sinful ways. I should try to please God. But if I don't does it really matter? My salvation is assured?

Salvation is a process of perseverance through faith, hope and love. Nowhere in Scripture does it say that one is justified or saved by "faith alone." On the contrary, man is not justified by faith alone. A person is justified by faith and works acting together, which comes solely from God's divine grace. Faith alone never obtains the grace of justification. Also, the word "justified" is the same word Paul uses for justification in Romans 4,3 in regard to Abraham (so Protestants cannot argue James is not referring to "justification" in James 2,24 unless they argue Paul wasn't either in Romans 4,3).

(See also: Luke 24,47; Acts 2,38, 3,19, 17,30; John 3,36; 2 Corinthians 10,15; 13,15; Galatians 5,6)

Peace and every blessing!

Answer 5

The very definition of the word grace is that it is "free". There is nothing that you can do to merit God's grace except be humble.
Definition of grace: The power and desire to do the will of God.

Answer 6

Grace is often distinguished from mercy in that mercy is seen as not receiving punishment that one deserves to receive whereas grace is receiving a positive benefit that one does not deserve to receive.
