Tangibility of Grace, more than just ‘unmerited favor’.
There is a common misconception that faith (Grace) simply means obtaining something undeserved through the superior influence of an omnipotent God. But this isn't the biblical definition of grace. While one of the synonyms of the Greek word translated to 'grace' is 'unmerited favour', Grace is much more than unmerited favour.
Tit 2:11-12 says thus;
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world.
The grace of God that ushered in salvation shined forth for all men to see. How? Through His exceptional life. Walking away from ungodliness influences and worldly impulses (which are products of the knowledge of good and evil), while advocating for a sober, righteous, and godly life! Therefore, we see clearly that grace is much more than unmerited favour, it is rather a reflection of the character of God.
Heb 1:3 says;
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person...
Paul describes Jesus as the 'effulgence of the personality of God.' Jesus Himself said, 'he who has seen me, has seen the Father!'. The goal of grace isn't entirely focused on things, but on the hidden treasure of the personality of God. Those attributes of the Spirit, such as "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, and temperance" are the qualities desperately missing in the world.
Shalom...
