The Bible reveals God's grace as the unmerited favor He bestows on sinners through Christ, especially as illustrated in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and prodigal son.
God's grace is central to the message of Scripture, particularly in the New Testament. The parables of Luke 15 demonstrate the depth of God's grace in reaching lost sinners. The lost sheep illustrates Christ's roles as the Good Shepherd who pursues His chosen sheep, while the lost coin signifies the diligent seeking of the Holy Spirit to bring dead sinners to life. Lastly, the prodigal son vividly portrays God the Father's profound love and willingness to forgive and receive repentant sinners, emphasizing that salvation and grace are entirely of God and not based on human efforts.
