Regarding grace, I think this verse is telling us it's more than "unmerited favor:" And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work. (2 Corinthians 9:8)

Another verse along those lines: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:16)

You know what I find so encouraging about Heb 4:16, is that I don't even need to fully understand nor define grace, in order to receive grace. I only need ask the Lord. How amazing, how wonderful, huh brother?
