grace

There is grace for every good action.

When God's goodness touches our lives, it's called "grace.

May you find the grace of triumph in any situation.

A man makes himself hard and inflexible in order to escape his guiltiness. The strange paradox present on every page of the Gospels and which we can verify any day, is that it is not guilt which is the obstacle to grace, as moralism supposes. On the contrary, it is the repression of guilt, self-justification, genuine self-righteousness and smugness which is the obstacle.

It's when we come to the end of ourselves that we come to the beginning of grace.

I live by grace.

It is grace to be forgiven of sinful acts, and grace to be supplied the heart for righteous ones.

Grace is as good as gold.

The Bible never speaks of God's grace as simply making up our deficiencies--as if salvation consists in so much good works (even a variable amount) plus so much of God's grace. Rather the Bible speaks of "a God who justifies the wicked" (Romans 4:5) who is found by those who do not seek Him, who reveals Himself to those who do not ask for Him (see Romans 10:20).

Satan, the god of all dissension stirs up daily new sects. And last of all which of all others I should have foreseen or once suspected. He has raised up a sect such as teach that men should not be terrified by the Law but gently exhorted by the preaching of the grace of Christ.

Grace is the gateway to heaven.

Because I am united to Christ, God__ love for me is not as variable as my loyalty to him_. God will not love me more because I do better. He will not love me less because I stumble. His love is based not on my behavior but on my union with his Son _ a union built on trust in his grace, not my goodness.

Franny understood then that grace was not like a present. It could not be given, and it could not be taken away.

The radiance of dignity and grace creates a profound elegance which exists whether anyone is watching or not.

Dignity is an inherent value and human virtue which represents the best of mankind.

Do you see dignity & grace as a state of emotional and spiritual being or a physical projection of courage and class? Perhaps they describe both.

Grace is loving people for who they are, where they are. It's loving people *before* they change, not just *after* they change. And that grace is the difference between holy and holier-than-thou. Holiness, in its purest form, is irresistible. That's why sinners couldn't be kept away from Jesus. Hypocrisy has the opposite effect. It's as repulsive to the irreligious as the Pharisees' religiosity was to Jesus.
