Divine Grace Bethany Lilly 4. Divine Grace is an undeserved favor from God, or salvation. In Christianity salvation is as important as justice is in law. Because forgiveness is important to Christianity they believe salvation should be granted to all, even those who seemingly do not deserve it. " Grace means God moving heaven and earth to save sinners who could not lift a finger to save themselves. Grace means God sending His only Son to descend into hell on the cross so that we guilty ones might be reconciled to God and received into heaven" (Packer) says one theologist. Divine Grace is the act of giving forgiveness. In many religions grace is something that is not deserved but is given because the Lord, or the Divine, is all forgiving. The New Testament hints in the belief that grace is the main prerogative of God. This means that God wants to forgive everyone and he wants to accept and love them.
