Concise Bible Dictionary
:
The favor and graciousness shown by
God
to guilty
man
. It stands in contrast to
law
(
John 1:17
17
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. (John 1:17)
;
Gal. 5:4
4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace. (Galatians 5:4)
); also to
works
and to
desert
or reward (
Rom. 4:4
4
Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. (Romans 4:4)
;
Rom. 11:6
6
And if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace. But if it be of works, then is it no more grace: otherwise work is no more work. (Romans 11:6)
): “by grace ye are saved” (
Eph. 2:5,8
5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;) (Ephesians 2:5)
8
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: (Ephesians 2:8)
). The grace of God is vouchsafed to the saints all along the way: we find nearly all the
Epistles
commence and end with the invocation of grace on the churches: whereas when individuals are addressed
MERCY
is added (
1 Tim. 1:2
2
Unto Timothy, my own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. (1 Timothy 1:2)
;
2 Tim. 1:2
2
To Timothy, my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord. (2 Timothy 1:2)
;
Titus 1:4
4
To Titus, mine own son after the common faith: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. (Titus 1:4)
;
2 John 1:3
3
Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. (2 John 3)
). The different aspects of grace and mercy have been thus set forth: “Grace refers more to the source and character of the sentiment; mercy to the state of the person who is its object. Grace may give me
glory
; mercy contemplates some need in me. Mercy is great in the greatness of the need; grace in the thought of the person exercising it.”
