GRACE

BASIC R.C. BELIEF Grace is the supernatural gift of God bestowed, mainly through the sacraments, on men and angels to make them capable of supernatural acts and everlasting life. The state of Grace is being free from mortal sin.

POST VATICAN II “Saved by Grace” is used in Roman Catholic circles today. They believe Grace is the enablement by God for man to do things necessary for salvation. They are still doing the religious works, but as God gives them Grace to do them, they say they are saved by Grace.

CHRISTIAN COMMENT Ephesians 2:8-9. Scripture teaches us that God poured out His Grace for us in the atoning work of our Lord Jesus Christ, and that He saves us without regard to any work, prayer or religious observance we may or may not do (Romans 11:6).
