Grace is God's unmerited favour; it is His kindness to us even when we do not deserve it. We receive salvation through grace, not as a reward for our deeds but as a gift freely given. Ephesians 2:8-9 (NLT) says, "God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it."
We witness it in the life of Peter, who, despite denying Christ, is forgiven and restored to lead the early church.
In our lives today, God's grace manifests when we find strength beyond our natural capacity and effort. Such instances encourage us to trust in God’s good and perfect will, knowing His grace is sufficient for us in every situation, guiding and sustaining us through life’s challenges.
