Divine grace
Divine grace is the sovereign favour of God exercised in the bestowment of blessings upon those who have no merit in them. It is a Christian term for God's graciousness to humanity that he is under no need or obligation to exhibit. Most broadly, divine grace may also refer to God's gifts to humankind, including our life, creation, and salvation, which God gives to us freely. More narrowly but more commonly, grace describes the means by which humans are saved from original sin and granted salvation. This latter concept of grace is of central importance in the theology of Christianity, as well as one of the most contentious issues in Christian sectarianism.
