Grace

In the Christian body many people believe that the word grace means one main thing. That one thing is that grace is the (undeserved favor) given to us from God through his son Jesus Christ. Grace is very important because without it none of us would go to heaven. Without Grace, the only way to get into heaven would be to follow Gods law perfectly.

The best verse I found to describe this Grace is by which we live is, 1 Corinthians 15:10. This verse states that “But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but...
