What are some Bible verses about grace?

Dec 3

Romans 3:23–24 — “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.”
This captures grace as God’s unmerited favor, giving legal freedom from sin and canceling guilt through Christ.
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.”
Grace saves, faith receives, and both are God’s gift.
John 3:16 — “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son…”
A central demonstration of divine grace: God giving his Son for sinners.

John 1:14 — “The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us… full of grace and truth.”
John 1:16 — “From his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given.”
Christ is the overflowing source of grace, the embodiment of God’s favor toward humanity.
