| Unmerited Favor |
| Someone in a Bible study recently made the comment that, “Grace is not merely unmerited favor, but favor in spite of merited judgment.” |
| I’ve thought a lot about this, and enjoyed the truth of it. As sinners we deserve judgment, but God has come in with His grace and provided a Savior and unnumbered blessings, along with care and provision for our life here and, in the future, a place in the Father’s house with Himself. Here are some Scriptures regarding that grace: |
| “In whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace” (Ephesians 1:7). |
| “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God” (Ephesians 2:8). |
| “And of His fulness have all we received, and grace for grace” (John 1:16). |
| “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you” (2 Corinthians 9:8). |
| “That being justified by His grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life” (Titus 3:7). |
