What does the Bible say about grace?

Grace in the Bible is unearned favor. It is the air the gospel breathes. Paul returns to it again and again: salvation is by grace, life is by grace, even strength in weakness is by grace. Scripture is unrelenting on this point — grace cannot be merited; it can only be received.

My grace is sufficient for you.
