Grace (Heb. jên, chesed; Gr. járis). The original terms mean “favor” or “kindness,” especially if it has not been earned or deserved. The Hebrew term is frequently found in the OT in phrases such as: “May I now find favor in your eyes” (Gen 30:27; Exo 33:13). Such expressions are repeatedly used as a form of courtesy when addressing God or a person. In most cases in the OT, the word simply means “favor,” without any philosophical or theological implication. However, the NT concept of grace as God’s saving love for sinners is not absent from the OT, but this idea was more closely expressed by Heb. chesed, often translated as “mercy” (Psa 17:7; 40:11; Isa 63:7; Jer 16:5; etc.) and illustrated in the experience of the OT saints. Adam and Eve received a promise of salvation despite their disobedience (Gen 3:15), and physical protection was provided (v 21); Noah was saved from general destruction by the flood (6:8; 7:1); Abraham was chosen, despite his imperfections, to keep alive the knowledge of God (12:1); Moses was prepared for leadership by specific divine instruction and guidance (Exo 3:10; Israel was chosen by God and patiently taught through centuries of unruliness as a people (Psa 135:4; etc.). The prophets continually described love (Psa 92:2; Isa 54:10; Jer 9:24; Hos 2:19; Jon 4:2; etc.) The OT not only reveals God’s displeasure for sin, but also his patience and his love for sinners, and the grace provided for their salvation. It falls, however, to the NT to develop and proclaim the fullness of divine grace, “for the law was given through Moses , but grace and truth 501 came through Jesus Christ” (John 1:17). The main exponent of the doctrine of salvation by grace is Paul. His thesis is that salvation is the result, not of the law or books or nationality, but of divine favor freely bestowed and by human faith.”By grace are ye saved through faith” (Eph. 2:8). Paul describes one of the blessings of the gospel as the “entrance by faith into this grace in which we stand” (Rom 5:2). Grace is the hand of God coming down to earth. Faith is the hand of man reaching up to grasp God’s. The dynamic of salvation is divine grace. He has made his grace available to all men of all nationalities and walks of life at all times. But faith is the one that appropriates it (Eph 4:7; Tit. 2:11). Paul knew that the grace of God was the dynamic force of his own life: “But by the grace of God I am what I am; and his grace has not been in vain towards me, before I have worked more than all of them; yet not I, but the grace of God is with me” (1Co 15:10). His appreciation for her is revealed in the fact that he includes her in the greeting and conclusion of all his epistles (Rom 1:7; 16:20; 1Co 1:3; 16:23; 2Co 1:2; 13:14; Gal. 1:3; 6:18; Eph 1:2; 6:24; Phi 1:2; 4:23; Col 1:2; 4:18; 1Th 1:1; 5:28; 2Th 1:2; 3 :18; 1 Tit 1:2; 6:21; 2 Tit 1:2; 4:22; Tit 1:4; 3:15; FLam_3, 25). Peter and John follow a similar scheme (1Pe 1:2; 2Pe 1:2; 3:18; 2 Joh_3; Rev 1:4; 22:21). Through grace God calls men to his service (Gal. 1:15, 16), and it is his operation that influences men to respond to God’s call (Acts 20:32) . She leads men to repentance (2 Tit 2:25) and imparts faith (Rom 12:3; Heb 12:2). It was brought to men through Jesus Christ (Rom 5:15) and imparts consolation and hope (2Th 2:16). The throne of God is not only a symbol of judgment and power, but also of grace (Heb 4:16). Grace and Bindings. Symbolic names given to 2 staffs (Zec 11: 7, 14): the 1st represents God’s merciful pact with his people; and the 2nd, the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. Breaking the crooks (vs 10, 14) represented the cancellation of the pact and the dissolution of the union between the 2 peoples.

(Heb., hen; Gr., charis). Term used by biblical writers with a considerable variety of meanings:
(1) Properly said, that which gives joy, pleasure, delight, charm, sweetness, beauty;
(2) good will, kindness, mercy, etc.;
(3) the kindness of a master towards a slave. Therefore, by analogy, grace has come to mean God’s goodness to man (Luk 1:30). The NT writers, at the end of their various epistles, often invoke God’s favor and grace upon their readers (Rom 16:20; Phi 4:23; Col 1:19; 1Th 5:28). In addition, the word grace is frequently used to express the concept of kindness given to someone who does not deserve it, therefore unmerited favor, especially that type or degree of favor granted to sinners by Jesus Christ (Eph 2:4-5). Grace, therefore, is that unmerited favor of God toward fallen man by which, for Christ’s sake—the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth (John 1:14)—has provided man’s redemption. From eternity he has determined to offer his favor to all who have faith in Christ as Lord and Savior.
The relationship between law and grace is one of the main themes of Paul’s writings (Rom 5:2, Rom 5:15-17; Rom 8:1-2; Gal 5:4-5; Eph 2:8 -9). Grace is the means or instrument by which God has effected the salvation of all believers (Titus 2:11). Grace is also the sustaining influence that enables the believer to persevere in the Christian life (Acts 11:23; Acts 20:32; 2Co 9:14). It is also used as a sign or proof of salvation (Acts 1:5). The humble receive a special gift of grace (Jam 4:6; 1Pe 5:5). Grace can also refer to the ability to receive divine life (1Pe 1:10). It can also mean a gift of knowledge (1Co 1:4) and thanksgiving or gratitude expressed for a favor (1Co 10:30; 1Ti 1:1-2).

I- THE GRACE OF GOD.
– God is the God of all grace, and God’s throne is “the throne of grace”, 1Pe 5:10, Heb 4:16.
God is love, and to love is to give, and God has given us for free everything we have, material and spiritual: The body, the soul, parents, friends, air, sun, roses. he gives us many other things through other men, or animals, or the fish through the sea, or the fruits through the trees. and not only gives us being, all that we are and have, but also gives us “salvation” through his Son, with the power of the Holy Spirit, Jua 3:16, Rom 3: 23-24 , 1Pe 1:2.
– Jesus Christ is “full of grace and truth” in Jua 1:14, and Saint John continues to tell us in that wonderful introduction to his Gospel, that “from his fullness we all receive grace upon grace, and that grace and truth came through Jesus Christ”: (John 1:16-17).
In Jesus, as a man, “the grace of God was in him”, “and he increased in favor with God and men”: (Luke 2:40, Luke 2:52).
The term “fullness”, or “full” is relative in the Bible, just as a glass and a pitcher can be “full” of…
