What is grace? Grace is the opposite of human effort. Grace affirms what Scripture declares that we are undeserving hell-bound rebels, dead in our transgressions and sins, under God’s perfectly just wrath for our rebellion against Him. But while we were dead, while we were in active revolt against Him, God chose to make us alive, forgive our sins and grant us unimaginable and undeserved riches in Christ. That’s grace! Grace is God giving us what we did not deserve.
