What is grace?
1. It is an attribute of God. God is gracious. Psalm 145:8 "The Lord is gracious." When God talks about His grace, He's giving Himself. He just doesn't give you "something"; the gift is Himself. We can say God is Love, we can say God is Grace. It's actually a part of Christ Himself.
2. It comes through Jesus Christ. Grace comes through a person. It's personal. John 1:17 "For the Law was given by Moses but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ." Moses gave the Law and Jesus Christ gave grace. Romans 5:15 "The gift came by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ."
3. It's eternal. God has always acted in grace. 2 Timothy 1:9 "Who has saved us and called us to a Holy life, not because of anything we have done but because of His own purpose and grace. And this grace was given us in Jesus Christ before the beginning of time." A lot of people think that God acted one way in the Old Testament and another way in the New Testament. The Old Testament is Law and the New Testament is grace. But God has always acted in grace toward people. Genesis 9 says "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." Abraham was chosen by grace. God has always acted by grace. Always. From the beginning of time. Grace is eternal.
