God's Grace



Grace is the very opposite of merit...Grace is not only undeserved favor, but it is favor shown to the one who has deserved the very opposite.

Harry Ironside

Grace is God’s free and unmerited favor shown to guilty sinners who deserve only judgment. It is the love of God shown to the unlovely. It is God reaching downward to people who are in rebellion against Him.

Jerry Bridges

Grace is God giving us what we do not deserve and mercy is God not giving us what we do deserve.
