grace, mercy, Jesus

Grace: a. the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God. b. the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.

Mercy: a. compassionate or kindly forbearance shown toward an offender, an enemy, or other person in one's power. b. something that gives evidence of divine favor; blessing.

Hebrews 4:16: Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.
