Grace
Undeserved favor
God's undeserved favor: receiving what we can neither earn nor pay for. The cross is grace in person, God giving Himself for those who did not deserve it (Ephesians 2:8).
Undeserved favor
Grace is receiving what we can neither earn nor repay. It isn't a reward for good behavior; it's a gift from God's heart.
From the Old to the New
Grace runs through the whole Bible, from Noah, who 'found favor', to the cross. It doesn't cancel holiness; it fulfills it in Christ.
Application
Stop trying to earn God's love and start receiving it. Grace transforms those who accept it.
