Examples of grace in the new testament

Here are some examples of grace in the New Testament:

  1. Salvation through faith: "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" (Ephesians 2:8).
  2. Justification: "For God has acted to justify the ungodly, and within it, has believed" (Romans 4:5).
  3. Forgiveness: "And you, who were dead in trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses" (Colossians 2:13).
  4. Redemption: "In whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins" (Colossians 1:14).
  5. Abundant grace: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved" (Ephesians 2:4-5).
  6. The gift of eternal life: "For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord" (Romans 6:23).
  7. The Holy Spirit: "For the one who has died is freed from sin. Now the life you have is not yours; you have received it as a gift from God, and it is your life in Christ Jesus, whom God made our wisdom, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption" (Romans 6:7-11).
  8. The gift of righteousness: "For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ" (John 1:17).
  9. The gift of peace: "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your heart be troubled or fearful" (John 14:27).
  10. The gift of wisdom: "But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. God chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are, so that no one may boast before him" (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).
  11. The gift of love: "We love because he first loved us" (1 John 4:19).
  12. The gift of adoption: "But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, to give adoption as sons to those who were sons of God" (Galatians 4:4-5).
