Grace is the help or strength given through the Atonement of the Lord Jesus Christ. Through the grace of God, everyone who has lived will be resurrected—our spirits will be reunited with our bodies, never again to be separated. Through His grace, the Lord also enables those who live His gospel to repent and be forgiven.
Grace is a gift from Heavenly Father given through His Son, Jesus Christ. The word grace, as used in the scriptures, refers primarily to enabling power and spiritual healing offered through the mercy and love of Jesus Christ.
Everyone on earth experiences physical death. Through the grace of Jesus Christ, all will be resurrected and will live forever (see 1 Corinthians 15:20–22; 2 Nephi 9:6–13).
Because of personal choices, everyone also experiences the effects of sin (see 1 John 1:8–10; Mosiah 16:4). These effects are called spiritual death. No one can return to the presence of God without divine grace. Through the Atonement, we all can be forgiven of our sins; we can become clean before God. To receive this enabling power, we must obey the gospel of Jesus Christ, which includes having faith in Him, repenting of our sins, being baptized, receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and trying to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ for the rest of our lives (see Ephesians 2:8–9; James 2:17–22; 2 Nephi 25:23; 31:20).
The grace of God helps us every day. It strengthens us to do good works we could not do on our own. The Lord promised that if we humble ourselves before Him and have faith in Him, His grace will help us overcome all our personal weaknesses (see Ether 12:27).

Grace is a seemingly lost characteristic of human behavior that enables one to present themselves to others in a manner that conveys poise and kindness. A person of grace has a special ability to relate to others in a thoughtful and intelligent manner.

Since your post in is R&S I assume you mean the grace of God.
Grace is blessing. We receive grace in many ways...through prayer, through obediance. The more we align ourselves with God the more grace is poured into our souls.

It's class. Tact. A personality.
You can have a little grace like Elaine from Sienfeld.

Grace is what street ranting Christians often ask you to give them when you politely ask them to turn the yelling down a notch or two...that is right before they turn the volume on their speakers up a couple notches and resume yelling at everyone.

allowing yourself to demonstrate true love for someone even though they don't deserve it.
Christ did that when he gave His own blood sacrifice for the remission of our sorry u-know-whats
