===Biblical passages and concepts about This concept of God showing humanity his good favour as a gift is what grace===is, although the word "grace" itself is never specifically defined in the [[Bible]].

The word "grace is never defined in the [[Bible]]. The word " appears in the English [[Old Testament]] a dozen or so times, most commonly translated from the [[Hebrew]], word "[[chesed]]". This has also been translated as "loving-kindness".

In contrast, the word grace is found hundreds of times in the [[New Testament]], translated from the [[Koine Greek]] word, "[[charis]]", which also means gift. [[John 1:17]] states that "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.{{Bible verse|John|1|17|lang=WEB}}" Although the word is not used into the [[gospels]] many times, the concept of grace is seen in Jesus' teaching, parables, miracles and death and resurrection. The parable of the [[The Prodigal Son|Prodigal Son]] is a wonderful example of grace. Peter tells us to "set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed" ([[1 Peter 1:13]]) and that we [[worship]] the "[[God]] of all grace" ([[1 Peter 5:10]]). In Hebrews we are told that we may approach "the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" ([[Hebrews 4:16]]).

The [[apostle Paul]] explains ===Further developments in [[Romans 4]]:23-24 that "For all have sinned and fall short theological understandings of the glory of God, and are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus."  Peter tells us to "set your hope fully on the grace to be given you when Jesus Christ is revealed" ([[1 Peter 1:13]]) and that we [[worship]] the "[[God]] of all grace" ([[1 Peter 5:10]]). In Hebrews we are told that we may approach "the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" ([[Hebrews 4:16]]). ===
