What Role Does Grace Play in Your Life?

As a Christian, the biblical doctrine of grace is essential to our lives.

Grace is a theological concept essential to Christianity. Grace refers to the belief that salvation a gift freely given by God, rather than a benefit earned by human effort. Salvation comes by the way of God’s unmerited favor and love, rather than being achieved by our good deeds.

For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Ephesians 2:8-10 (NIV)

While different interpretations exist within Christianity, the doctrine of grace underscores the idea that God is merciful and and exceedingly generous toward humanity.

Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.

Asian Proverb
Apart from grace, I’d be lost.
