Grace of God

Portion For Reading Rom 6:15-18
The word favor is the nearest biblical synonym for the word grace. How do we recieve grace of God, but first what is Grace Of God?

Suppose you are very weak in Math and in your final exam you have done very badly, over all you only need 3 marks to pass. Now your teacher sees you and has mercy on you, and she trust that next time you will do well, so she adds 3 marks into your Math paper in order that you can pass.

So, the adding of the extra marks is known as Grace Marks.

Similarly, when God sees man has sinned against him, and man was on the way eternal destruction, God had mercy on us and gave Grace in order to do right things and live sin free life, that is called Righteousness.

Rom 6:17-18But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness.
