What does the Bible say about... Grace?

GRACE.

Grace is one of those words we hear all the time, but do we personally know what it means? 

Grace is something we could never earn, 
but are given freely through relationship with Jesus.
Grace is what empowers and transforms us. 
It’s what continually works in us and changes us. 
It cleans up our hearts, it refreshes us and renews us.

Father, we ask for wisdom and revelation to dive deep into the gift of Your grace. 
Help us to understand all that it encompasses, walk in it daily and extend it to others. In the name of Jesus, amen 💙

Here is what the Bible has to say about grace:
