Ephesians 2:5 - Additional Comments

What is grace? Giving grace is giving something to someone who didn't deserve it or earn it in any way. God gives us grace in saving us, for He is full of grace (John 1:14) We can give grace to others. Some people, in fact, are so selfless they are characterized by grace.
Since God was characterized by grace, we didn't deserve it, but He made us alive through Christ.
