God's Grace

Ephesians 2:

⁸ For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, ⁹ not of works, lest anyone should boast.

Simply put, Grace is defined as God's unmerited favor.
Grace is the power of God to do for us what we cannot do for ourselves and the fact is that we cannot do anything for ourselves.
It was his blood shed at Calvary that revealed God's grace for his lost children.

The Torah gives us a beautiful example of what grace is and does.  When Moses took the Children of Israel out of Egypt and into the desert the people soon became thirsty, but there wasn't any water to be found, especially not for 2,000,000 people, plus their herds of animals.  God told Moses to strike a specific rock and He (God) would give the people water.  The water that came out of that rock demonstrates the grace of God flowing out to all who would drink.  It also caused the parched and barren land to blossom which in turn gave the animals something to eat.  Without this water, without God's grace supplying the needs of the people, the people would have died.  Christ is the Rock, He is also the Living Water. 

Without the grace, without the pardon that God gives us, justice demanded that we die for our sins, for the price of sin is eternal death which means eternal separation from God .  We are supplied daily with the light of the sun and air to breath, something to eat and drink. He supplies all we need, but we must choose to accept His gifts, or to reject them.

Ephesians 1:

⁷ In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace.

Grace is God showing His love to us even though we don't deserve it.  

John Wesley believed that God provides us with  grace from birth?

Wesley believed that people have freedom of choice. We are free to accept or reject God's justifying grace. Wesley emphasized "Free Grace" saying:

The grace or love of God, whence cometh our salvation, is FREE IN ALL, and FREE FOR ALL.... It is free in all to whom it is given. It does not depend on any power or merit in man; no, not in any degree, neither in whole, nor in part. It does not in anywise depend either on the good works or righteousness of the receiver; not on anything he has done, or anything he is. It does not depend on his endeavors. It does not depend on his good tempers, or good desires, or good purposes and intentions; for all these flow from the free grace of God; they are the streams only, not the fountain. They are the fruits of free grace, and not the root. They are not the cause, but the effects of it.

Gods grace is so much more than in salvation alone, it is in Gods whole being. It is who God is.
