We've all heard about the "grace of God", and how grace is His "unmerited favor", but what does that mean--I mean , how does this make a difference in MY life? Well, grace is favor, which is defined by Webster as " friendly regard shown toward another especially by a superior; a special privilege or right granted or conceded". What Webster does not explain is:
1) God's favor is unearned. Nobody can work hard enough to get it.
2) God's favor is unmerited. Nobody can be good enough to get it.
3) God's favor is undeserved. Nobody has a right to it.
So, who can get it? Only those who admit they have need of it.
