BIBLE GLOSSARY

Grace

WHAT IT MEANS

God's freely given favour and generosity, received as a gift rather than earned as a reward.

IN BIBLICAL CONTEXT

In Ephesians 2:8–10, salvation is described as a gift of grace, and good works as part of the life that follows.

AN EVERYDAY EXAMPLE

Receiving kindness you did not earn can help you picture grace, although God's grace is more than a human act of kindness.
