Main Verse: Ephesians 2:8 ESV
[8] For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God.

A gift that is coming from the Lord with kindness or forgiveness and pure love. You can receive this by trusting God, grace can't be earned nor merit because it is a gift. Grace helps us to be closer and grow with Him and resist the temptation. Also, it is responsible to teach us how to be righteous and follow Him. We need this because it helps us to have a right path. Accept the fact that even if we don't deserve it, God already forgives us because of His grace.

Our life nowadays cannot be predicted, most of the time we don't know how to value our lives.

Numerous trials challenge us to be good or bad. And some of us try to live freely and save our faith. Honestly, it is hard if we are doing it alone. Walking in our journey all along, is not just simple as we know, we need to be stronger and face circumstances. Yet, He is there; God is with us.

God's grace helps us to empower the service, to have hope and let us faith to be fire with Him.

Scripture says, 2 Corinthians 9:8 ESV
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

Imagine how great is our God, He wants us to have a sufficient life for all times. God gave us an energy source where in our everyday life, we can fulfil our duties and continue our lives.

All of this is because of love. A love that conquers all. A love that always shines no other than else. Is grace important? Yes! It purifies our soul, strengthens our faith, warms our heart with genuine love, elevates our thoughts and enlightens our minds.

Another word from God, Romans 3:24 ESV and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus.

In this passage, grace explains it is a gift from Him through redemption coming from Jesus Christ. All of it comes from Him and reminds us, Christians that before you know and accept Him, He already gave grace to all of us.

Grace is not about us, it is God who gives it to us as a gift. Let us know that God is working to our lives, to understand that He is not doing this for nothing but for love.

I have listed the 10 greater benefits of grace.

1. We are SAVED by GRACE.
Jesus already died on the cross for us, to all sinners. Acceptance is the key and surrendering our lives, so we can go to heaven. We can earn or buy it. And through faith, we are saved.
(Ephesians 2:8-9).

2. We're FORGIVEN by GRACE.
Even though we don't deserve it, yet He does it for love and makes us like snow as He cleans us.(Isaiah 43:25).

He loves those people who are broken, and fixes our hearts even though we don't deserve it. (Psalm 147:3).

5. We're LIBERATED by GRACE.
Our relationship to the Lord is not about doing what is needed, instead to have a rest and feel the peace that He gave. Having a Christian life is hard but soon will have a peaceful and amazing journey. (Matthew 11:28-30).

6. We're given TALENTS by GRACE.
All of us have our own unique talents and let us use this for His glory. (Romans 12:6).

7. We're USED by GRACE.
He has a purpose for us. We are living on this Earth because of Him. (Ephesians 3:7).

8. We're KEPT SAVED by GRACE.
Once you're Christian, you already received the gift of God. It can be lost, since we already have it. We need to keep and receive the joy coming from Him. (Jude 1:24).

Through his grace, God makes us new for good through knowing the truth and allowing Him to handle our lives. (Romans 12:2).

10. We're MATURED by GRACE.
