Definition: The Gift of Grace

Divine assistance given humans for their regeneration or sanctification.

A blessing that is an act of divine favor or compassion.

Life itself is the fundamental gift, with all its delights. For us, the gift of life includes the wondrous gift of being human, finding ourselves plopped down in the midst of the larger gift of creation. That is the bedrock of grace—creation, life, human being. As humans, we are given a unique place in the created order.
