What is grace?

Short answer

Grace is God's love and favour given freely — not because we earned it, but because of who he is.

Deeper answer

Everything in Christianity is grace. You don't climb up to God. He comes down to you, in Jesus.

From the Bible

  • Ephesians 2:8–9

    NIV
    For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast.
  • Titus 2:11

    NIV
    For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
