What does the Bible say about true grace?

Answered in 5 sources

True grace, as presented in the Bible, is the unearned favor of God given to His elect, exemplified in 1 Peter 1, emphasizing that salvation is entirely a work of God.

In 1 Peter 1, the Apostle Peter describes true grace as the foundational aspect of salvation, establishing that it is not a mere offer but a gift that is bestowed upon God's people. This grace is initiated by God and involves His sovereign election and love for His people before the foundation of the world. The entire book of 1 Peter aims to differentiate this true grace from anything that might be superficially termed grace, thus highlighting its significance in the life of believers. Salvation is portrayed as entirely a work of God, bringing about transformation and preservation in those chosen by Him.
