- Grace
- 1) Grace is essentially a gift of God given freely and unmerited to those who have faith in him. It is particularly contrasted with the idea that people can curry favour by their good deeds. The only requirement for Grace is a trust in God’s goodness and willingness to shower it on those who ask for it in faith. The response is one of gratitude leading to love of God and of neighbour.
