Grace in Scripture

"The concept and implementation of grace is essential to the human progression to eternal life in Jesus Christ. Therefore, the importance of grace cannot be overstated. Grace originated with God and was personified in the coming of Jesus Christ. Grace emanates from the love of God. The Christian's pursuit of the example set by Christ is dependent upon the grace that enables the follower to set a correct path for their life. This is a unique feature in Christianity that holds a distinctive place in the study and living of it. The resurrection of Christ on the cross and the resulting grace imparted to the believer as a result is the foundation for Christianity. God uses grace to care for his creation over time. This includes care of his humans in all of their activities and pursuits. The manifestation of Christian truth in the believer is always accompanied by the grace of God. The working of grace through humans in the world enables the Christian to respond to God's various types of miraculous influences in our lives. The positive influence of grace is perpetual, powerful, surprising, and focused. Grace might be described as a miraculous blessing used by God to show his love and achieve results in our lives that reflect that love. Let us explore this essential concept of Christianity through which God works in our lives every day." *From The Introduction to Grace In Scripture*
