We should share the grace of God with or to each other in order to bring love and peace to our fellow man.

Is an agreement between god and his people called grace?

An agreement between God and his people is typically called a covenant, not grace. Grace is often defined as God's unmerited favor and is an important aspect in Christian theology, but it is not synonymous with a covenant.


What does St Paul mean by Grace to you in Ephesians?

GOD'S GRACE BE WITH YOU, SINCE I AM NOT THERE WITH YOU. - "Grace" is an attribute of God that is manifested by kindness and favor shown to all people in some measure, but especially toward those that receive salvation. Grace is similar to forgiveness in that a debt is released (that debt being sin), and similar to mercy in that God has shown restraint in punishing sin. However, Grace goes far beyond these acts. In showing grace, God not only withholds judgment, but showers the objects of His grace with abundant favor and blessing. By showing grace, however, sin goes unpunished for a time. Because of God's perfect righteousness, justice must be served or it could be said of God that he was not good. God's solution was to allow His son, Jesus to take the wrath that was rightfully due to the objects of God's grace. This was accomplished when Jesus submitted himself to a sacrificial death by crucifixion. Because of the incalculable worth and sinless perfection of Jesus, this was an acceptable sacrifice for the sins of the whole world all throughout time. Jesus was raised from the dead, proving he was truly God and defeating the curse of death. The "grace" that Paul speaks of, is a general petition (prayer) that God would continue to show this grace upon those that Paul is writing (almost always being the true believers in Jesus Christ.) Even though a Christian is forgiven of his or her sins (justification), there is a life-long battle with the desires of the flesh, which often causes a believer to fall into temporary sin. So there is a sense in which a Christian is being shown continual mercy and grace (withholding of wrath for sin.) Paul often encourages believers to be ever-mindful of the grace to which they were shown and to behave in such a way that shows a humble appreciation of the magnitude of the mercy and kindness that God granted to them.


How do you experience gods grace in your life?

Everything that happens in our life is a reflection of God's grace. Every moment of our breathing, our seeing, touching, feeling, loving, eating, every moment of happiness, of peace is all a reflection of His Divine grace. Unfortunately, we don't count our blessings. We take God for granted. We don't count all the beautiful things God has given us. For example, imagine you are blind tomorrow, sight is a grace. Imagine you lose your sense of smell or taste, you can't smell anything, you can't taste anything, that itself is God's grace. Unfortunately, we are not able to appreciate God's Divine presence in us, all around us, all the time.


What does efficacious signs of grace mean?

Do not worry about efficacious signs of grace mean. The word grace comes from the Greek word "charis" and the Latin word "gratia." "Charis" was a Greek deity, the wife of Vulcan. From the goddess "Charis" comes the Greek "Charities," three female deities, daughters of "Helios," the Greek/Roman high Sun-god. The word "grace" is pagan.Answer:Many Christian words, indeed many English words, are Greek in origin. The Greek word for grace is used a number of times in the Christian Scriptures. All the phrase 'efficacious signs of grace' means is "Obvious visual (or otherwise) signs of the grace of God in your's or someone else's life."


What is redeeming grace?

The grace of redemption is God's mercy toward us. When we mess up, we go to confession, confess we messed up, and the priest - Gods 'ambassador' you could say in a way - says try again. No ones perfect, or else no one would get redemption.
