Understanding grace takes understanding justification (Romans 3:20), redemption (Romans 3:24), and propitiation (Romans 3:25). In our sin we are unholy, unrighteous, and lost. We have nothing with which to commend ourselves to God. Those who live in sin have not righteousness (Romans 6:20). In Christ everything changes. While we have no righteousness of our own, Christ is our righteousness (1 Corinthians 1:30).
Therefore, grace is a term that conveys hope and comfort to Christians. We are saved by grace (Ephesians 2:8-9). It is a gift offered to humans (Romans 6:23). God’s grace requires holy living (Titus 2:11-14). We must grow in grace (2 Peter 3:18), so as not to we receive God’s grace in vain (2 Corinthians 6:1). Have you received God’s grace offered through His Son (Hebrews 5:8-9)? Have you fallen from grace (Galatians 5:4)?
