What the Bible Says about Grace (1)

Romans 5:17
17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.

What is Grace? Many explain Grace by saying that "it is a gift given to someone that did nothing to deserve that gift".
Discovering Grace is a pleasant surprise. It is the discovery of the forgiveness and love of God. It is to find out how much God loved us and what He did through His Son, Our Savior Jesus Christ.
Grace is the theme of the New Testament and the key to understand its message. The Bible's writers that talk about salvation, forgiveness and justification always make the connection with the Grace of God.
Our salvation from the sin and wrath was a gracious idea from God before the creation of the world (2 Timothy 1:9 -> 9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began) and it was executed according to His plan (Romans 8:30-> 30 Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.). We are salved by the Grace of God, not by our own work (Ephesians 2:8-9 -> 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.) and the Grace of God teach us to live our salvation on God in a dignified and honored way (Tito 2:11-12 -> 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;). The praise of the glorious Grace of God is the final goal of salvation (Ephesians 1:6 -> 6 To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved). Everything is related to the Grace of God. Without it we would never be saved from the coming wrath.
