Grace is recognized as the unmerited favor of God that empowers believers and is evident through His actions and providences in their lives.
Grace, according to the sermon, manifests as the free, unmerited favor of God given to His chosen people, without any human effort to earn it. This grace allows believers to access the blessings of salvation, as articulated in the Apostle Paul's writings, notably in Romans 5:8, where it is established that God's love was demonstrated through Christ's sacrifice. Believers observe grace in their lives through the providences God orchestrates, shaping circumstances and guiding lives toward salvation. Recognizing God's grace involves tracing His hand at work in personal histories and acknowledging that their beliefs and transformations are results of His unearned mercy.
