God's Grace on the Journey of Faith
God's grace is a precious gift that we cannot earn, He freely gives it to us. Even when we did not know God, He was still gracious to us.
God's grace gives us a new life that is not condemned by God. Through God's grace, we are forgiven, transformed in our thinking resulting in the renewal of our minds and hearts. Grace is the unseen favor and love of God.
