(Lydia’s words)

Grace is God’s unmerited favour to those who are totally undeserving. Grace is an undeserved gift from God.

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:4,5)

But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man’s offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many. (Romans 5:15)

The Greek word for grace is CHARIS( χαρις)

VINE’S dictionary also gives another meaning: It is applied to the beauty or gracefulness of a person.

In a similar way, though not quite the same, the words grace and charisma are used in everyday English.

Example: We definitely need someone like Cynthia Adams to be the president because she has charisma.

The word ‘grace’ is also used instead of the word charisma.

Example: Hannah carries herself with grace and poise.
