What does the Bible say about finding favor with God?
Answered in 2 sources
The Bible teaches that finding favor with God is tied to His grace, as seen in Ephesians 2 where it states that God is rich in mercy and loves us despite our deadness in sin.
Finding favor with God is fundamentally linked to His grace and mercy. The concept can be traced back to examples in Scripture, such as Noah, who found grace in the eyes of the Lord (Genesis 6:8). In the New Testament, Ephesians 2:4-5 reminds us that 'God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ.' This favor is not based on our merit but is a reflection of God’s sovereign grace towards His chosen people. When we acknowledge that we are favored by God through Christ's sacrifice, it assures us of our peace with Him.
