What is the character of God's grace?

Answered in 1 source

The character of God's grace is eternal, free, sovereign, and distinguishing towards His elect.

The character of God's grace can be understood through several key attributes. First, it is eternal (Romans 8:28-30), as it was established before the foundation of the world and is not subject to the confines of time. Second, God's grace is free (Romans 3:24) because it is given without any conditions or qualifications, emphasizing that it is a gift from God. Third, grace is sovereign (Romans 5:21), meaning that God bestows it upon whomever He chooses, highlighting His absolute authority. Finally, grace is distinguishing (1 Corinthians 4:7); it sets apart the elect from the non-elect, showing God's specific choice and favor. These characteristics reveal that grace is not something that can be earned or deserved; instead, it is solely in God's hands.
