The Bible teaches that grace is God's free, unearned gift of salvation through Christ that justifies sinners and empowers righteous living.
Grace is God's unearned gift of salvation offered freely through Christ, not achieved by human effort or merit. It justifies the sinful, redeems through Christ's blood, and equips believers for righteous living. God's grace is sufficient in weakness, accessible at any time of need, and transforms those who receive it into vessels of His eternal purpose.

Romans 5:15-17
But the free gift isn’t like the trespass. For if by the trespass of the one the many died, much more did the grace of God, and the gift by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abound to the many. The gift is not as through one who sinned: for the judgment came by one to condemnation, but the free gift came of many trespasses to justification. For if by the trespass of the one, death reigned through the one; so much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one, Jesus Christ.
