KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionThe free, unearned, and undeserved favor of God toward sinners — the basis of salvation and of every blessing in the Christian life. Grace stands in contrast to merit or works. It is the distinguishing characteristic of the New Covenant: believers are saved by grace through faith, not by works.
Key Verses"For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." (Ephesians 2:8–9)
