Grace of God

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works. (Titus 2:11-14 ESV)

Grace is a donor-beggar relationship (Titus 2:11);
Grace brings salvation (Titus 2:11), teaches godliness (Titus 2:12) and gives hope (Titus 2:13);
Grace is found in Jesus, who gave Himself for us to redeem us from all iniquity and purify for Himself a people for His own possession (Titus 2:14).

Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame, for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him. For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. (Romans 10:11-13 HCSB)
