Grace

A Christian expression meaning the free and unmerited assistance or favour, or saving presence of God in his dealings with humanity; the divine gift that brings about contrition, penitence, repentance, and the works of obedience in response to forgiveness.

Grace is a gift of God and is not considered to be deserved by the individual. According to the Bible, those to whom God does not give grace are incapable of understanding the gospel message.
