Grace is unmeritted Favor

Ephesians 2:8-9

"For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast."

Titus 3:5-7

"He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life."

Romans 11:6

"And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace."

1 John 2:2

"He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."

2 Peter 3:9

"The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."
