Divine Grace Galen Mayou

Divine grace is God's gift to man, giving us salvation. Grace is the main theology in Christianity, that we have been forgiven for all our sins, some from the original sin. Grace is something that we don't deserve, but are given "Grace is often distinguished from mercy in that mercy is seen as not receiving punishment that one deserves to receive, whereas grace is the receipt of a positive benefit that one does not deserve to receive" (Wikipedia). Grace is something that some religions believe is needed because all humans are born into sin and need to be saved. All are born into sin from the original sin of Adam and Eve in Eden. Some believe that the state of grace has been lost all people. Divine grace comes in western religion from Jesus's christs crucifixion and his resurrection.
