Amazing Grace, how sweet it is each moment to all who would believe!
The word grace is used 38 times in the Old Testament and 127 times in the New Testament. Of the 127 times, Paul uses grace 88 times in his letters.

"Illustrated Dictionary of the Bible" Herbert Lockyer, Sr., Editor defines grace as, 'favor or kindness shown without regard to the worth or merit of the one who receives it and in spite of what that same person deserves.
Grace is one of the key attributes of God.'

Briefly defined, it is unmerited favor. What are some things Scripture tells us of grace (there is so much)?  Hopefully, each will be challenged to do a deeper personal study of God's amazing grace.

Grace is described as--
All abundant:
"...For if the many died by the trespass of the one man (Adam), how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!" Romans 5:15 (Read Vs. 15-20)

All sufficient:
Concerning Paul's 'thorn in the flesh' 2 Corinthians 12:9 says, "And He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness...'."

Glorious:
"Having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, by which He has made us accepted in the Beloved." Ephesians 1:5-6

Great:
"And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all." Acts 4:33

Manifold:
"As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God." (Also read Romans 12:6-8 that tells of these gifts.)

Rich:
"But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace your have been saved)." Ephesians 2:4-5

Undeserved:
Paul speaking of God's mercy and grace to him, "Although I was formerly a blasphemer, a persecutor and an insolent man, but I obtained mercy because I did it ignorantly in unbelief. And the grace of our Lord was exceedingly abundant, with faith and love which are in Christ Jesus." 1 Timothy 1:13-14

Grace is--
The source of salvation:
"For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2:8

The source of the call of God:
Paul speaking to the Galatians concerning God's call on his life, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the Gentiles..." Galatians 1:15-16 (Read Vs. 11-24)

The source of faith:
The effective teaching of Apollos, a Jewish Believer, "And when he desired to cross to Achaia, the brethren wrote, exhorting the disciples to receive him, and when he arrived he greatly helped those who had believed through grace; for he vigorously refuted the Jews publicly, showing from the Scriptures that Jesus is the Christ." Acts. 18:27-28

The source of justification:
"This righteousness from God comes through faith in Jesus Christ to all who believe...for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified freely by His grace through redemption that came by Christ Jesus."
Romans 3:22-24

Thank you Lord for this awesome and amazing grace; abundant, sufficient, rich, glorious, great, undeserved, manifold! With grateful hearts we give all praise and honor to You most loving, kind and merciful Lord God. Amen
