Grace Definitions

So how about some definitions for grace:

• the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God
  
• the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them
  
• the free and unmerited favor of God shown towards man
  
• the divine assistance and power given to man in spiritual rebirth and sanctification
  
• the condition of being favored or sanctified by God
  
• an unmerited gift, favor, etc., granted by God
  
• the exercise of love, kindness, mercy, favor; disposition to benefit or serve another; favor bestowed or privilege conferred

But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved. Ephesians 2:4-5
