The word “grace” bears tremendous significance in the New Testament, yet like so many biblical terms, it has become almost a clich\u00e9d to many people and it’s been greatly devalued in the understanding of most Christians.\u00a0 God’s unmerited favor<\/em> has become the most common definition among believers.\u00a0\u00a0 While this does convey a certain\u00a0 limited sense of the word, it’s obvious by considering Scriptures that this definition is grossly inadequate.<\/p>\n
