According to the Bible

Look what i found out. "Grace in its highest definition is God in the Son to be enjoyed by us; it is not only something done or given but God Himself, our portion glorious.
God is incarnate in the flesh that we may receive Him and experience in ourself, this is the grace which we receive of God, which comes thru God and which is Christ Himself." Is that not good?

Hallelujah!!!
God in Christ as the Spirit reaching us. Grace is Christ as our enjoyment. Grace is God doing His work in us. Being an unmerited favour does not quite touch it I believe brother Nino. He is the All sufficient Grace.. The Overcoming Grace... each day we take Him as Grace to endure in this race set before us. Hallelujah for the Amazing Grace.
The bible ends in Grace.
Revelation 22:21
" The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all the saints Amen"
All sufficient Grace/
Never powerless/
It is all Christ is to me/
In His exhaustlessness/
Praise the Lord
In Christ

St. Paul almost always used the phrase,"Grace and Peace",together which meant 'grace'( unmerited favor) and 'peace' (the cessation of againstness).Basically God gives you undeserved or unearned favor because of your faith in Christ,He is not mad at you anymore.So He gives you peace.

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
The throne of grace? Perhaps throne of God!
Indeed, what is grace compared to what it's not: law.
What is mercy compared to what it's not: sacrifice.
What is peace compared to what it's not: division.
What is immortal compared to what it's not: mortal.
What is life compared to what it's not: death.
What is God compared to what it's not: man.
What is truth compared to what it's not: lie.
Surely die lie of Moses? Not truth.
Grace is sufficient? Truth.
Seven things firstly pure grace is: James 3:17
1. peace-able
2. gentle
3. easily entreated
4. full of mercy, empty of sacrifice(slaughter)
5. full of good fruits
6. not partiality
7. not hypocrisy
So then, the Holy Bible is comparative teaching,
written as allegory and mystery, allegoric mystery.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

It is that kind of love and mercy on us that we do not really deserve. It endures forever. It is bigger than any of our wrongdoings, and can save us when we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior.
