Grace
"You deserve a break today!" You won't find that popular advertising slogan in the Bible. The Bible tells us that the only thing people deserve from God is punishment because all of us have sinned (see Romans 3:23). It is only because of God's grace that we do not receive what we deserve. Instead, God offers eternal life as a free gift (see 6:23).

Grace - it's one of the most beautiful words in the Bible. Here's a helpful acronym: God's Riches At Christ's Expense. Our eternal riches in heaven - and every good thing we have or will receive- is an undeserved gift from God.

God's grace is evident in his mercy. He often delays punishment in order to give us time to turn to him. Grace can also refer to God's goodwill toward us. Other qualities closely related to God's grace are his love, kindness, patience and forgiveness.

Because of God's grace, he provided Jesus Christ as a sacrifice so our sins could be forgiven.
