What is grace?

What is grace?

• A. A way God helps us even when we don't deserve it
• B. An act of worship
• C. God's free and undeserved gift that helps us grow in holiness
• D. A sermon about grace

Answer: (C)

Grace is God's free and undeserved gift that helps us grow in holiness. It means God freely shares His life with us, empowering us to love Him, do good, and become more like Jesus. It isn’t earned by anything we do; it’s given to us despite our faults. Grace can show up as sanctifying grace that makes us holy and as actual grace that gives us help in specific moments to choose what is right. The other ideas describe things we do or talk about grace—an act of worship or a sermon about grace—but grace itself is the gift and power from God that transforms us.
