Grace

Grace: Eph. 2:5...even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved)...

Grace is God’s unmerited favor, His undeserved kindness. Grace is God’s approval, God’s acceptance, God’s favor towards the sinner because of Jesus Christ. None of it is deserved. None of it is earned. The sinner does not merit it and cannot merit it. God has graciously and freely poured out His love and kindness toward the sinner who believes on His Son.

If a person is saved, he is saved in only one way: by the marvelous, matchless grace of God!

In Ephesians chapter 2 Paul discusses salvation by grace alone. He defines God’s grace as "His kindness toward us [the undeserving ones described in Eph. 2:1-3] through Christ Jesus" (Eph. 2:7).
