Poll: What is the best definition of God's Grace?

Undeserved Mercies, forgiveness and Love. 

That is what saved a wretch like me!  And does grace still supply me ongoing, throughout my days - and not just a remembrance of that original grace, but a living, fresh supply coming to me day by day?

“God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.” 2 Cor 9:8

I think when we distill it all down, grace is just Christ and Him working in us to supply every need we have!

Is there an aspect of grace, in scripture, where it is more of an ongoing supply?  That is, we understand grace was mighty to save us in the first place, but will it also be a living supply to save us throughout our lives?  (and not just a remembrance of that original grace?)

God put in place a system that we are counted in someone else righteousness. 

For that reason we are always counted in Jesus Christ righteousness. 

This is possible because Jesus was from God to show that he was born righteous towards God. Having the same righteousness and Holiness as God had. 

We are adopted from Him. The scene of adaptation makes it clear that we are in his righteousness because it comes together with the forgiveness of sins in his name. In his Atonement. He is the Judge of all. He also has the power as a judge to give us absolution on his own towards his adopted children. Better than that, to the children born of His Spirit.

Yes, "born of His Spirit!"  So we have "the bountiful supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ" (Phil 1:19) living right in us.  That is, "Mr. Grace" lives in us to supply us.

The correct wording is important. We are in the grace of Jesus Christ, in his love and in his forgiveness. 

Grace and mercy came through Jesus Christ. Through who He was in the first place and his willingly obedience to the Father in what he asked him all the way to his chastising and his torture from his tormentors to his tortious death on the Cross. 

Jesus with his death on the Cross brought all the walls down and He opened the way for all mankind to Heaven in his name. 

People say that and they boast that they believed it but the words they say and the position they stand in it does not reflect that when they say the make up story that the people of God in the Old Testament went to Heaven upon death looking forwards to the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross, to his death on the Cross and they died with that hope, when they did not by their own confession. That Jesus Christ is the door to Heaven. That He opened the way to Heaven. 

The truth is that they went to Heaven but not before Jesus Christ and they went in Heaven because they became partakers of His Life after his death on the Cross. So Jesus can have the preeminence over everything. He is the Head he spairheads the way. He is the leader, the Head Sheppard and the sheep follows Him.

EMPOWERED  TO  LIVE  RIGHTEOUSLY -- WHY  THEN  IS  IT  IGNORED  BY  THE  COVETEOUS  WOLVES

2 PETER 3:16  as also in all his epistles speaking in them of these things in which are some things hard to be understood ---which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest--- as they do also the other scriptures unto their own destruction

[Whosoever]

Yet while we were still in our sins, God saved us.  God, by His own will, His own choice, His own name, His own authority, not because of any merits on our part, or because of anything of value in our flesh, or because of anything He values materialy...but because of Gods free gift offering of His only begotten Son, who paid the ultimate price so we wouldn't have to, YET HE SAVED US, what...

This dispensation of time, though limited, is our Grace period to get right with God before this age is over.  May I suggest to all who have not yet considered offering your hearts in repentance before Jesus, to do so now, that you too might become children of God and receive by Grace, eternal Life.  

Choose life.  With the exception of your soul, what do you have to lose?
