INTRODUCTION:
Grace is a description of the character of God. Because of Adam,” all sinned and come short of the glory of God”(Rom 3:23) but God loves us so much that He gives us what we do not deserve -GRACE !
God’s grace was revealed when He gave His Son to die u behalf of the of undeserving sinners. The life of the believer, from the beginning to the end, is dependent on God’s grace. Without grace, no one can be saved, grow as believers and stayed saved, because once saved, does not mean forever saved.
