Undeserved Blessings from God.
Grace is the goodness of God to us, expressed in many ways,
which we have done nothing to deserve. In their letters to
the early churches, the apostles, as a form of greeting, asked
for God's grace upon their readers:
"Grace and peace be yours in abundance through the knowledge
of God and of Jesus our Lord." (2 Peter 1:2). And: "For
you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he
was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that you through
his poverty might become rich." (2 Corinthians 8:9).
In the Old Testament, the word is usually contained in the
phrase "If now I have found grace in your sight"-a
dignified and humble way of approaching someone with a request,
as when Jacob spoke to his son Joseph: "If now I have
found grace in thy sight
deal kindly and truly with me;
bury me not, I pray thee, in Egypt." (Genesis 47:29,
KJV).
Modern versions (such as the NIV) sometimes substitute the
word 'favour'.
