The grace of God is the quality that God gives to men. The grace of God is the gift, a gift that transcends the supernatural, and is undeserved, God pleases to deliver. Beyond salvation, grace is the power to do what with your strength it would be impossible to do, it is the way that God uses to endow believers with talents and abilities that reflect the power of God, and not the power of man. It is the essence of God in a believer, it is the magnificent thing, it is the extraordinary, it is what for man is impossible but for God it is possible, that place where you are clothed with a unique power. The grace of God is that which is freely given by the heavenly God, brings pleasure, delight, and beauty to the personality, acts and words are transformed by the grace of God. He who possesses the grace of God will transmit around him that which many do not know how to define, that which makes him unique, that which causes the desire to be with that person, of spending hours conversing with that person, that is the grace of God. <center> [Source](https://nuestrodios.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/regalo-gracia-de-Dios_opt.jpg)</center> How the grace of God manifests The grace of God is manifested in the way God uses believers to bring healing to the sick, to release the captive, to cast out demons, it is by grace that this is possible. When you are what you could never be with your strength, it is because of the manifestation of God's grace in your life. The grace of God is manifested when you have charisma, you attract the blessing of God and you impart it around you. When grace comes to your life it is a greater, unique and magnificent power that God unleashes to be an instrument in the kingdom, and do not boast, but be all glory to Him. It is the brightness that God places in a person, and makes it admirable, peaceful, although it may not have an attractive physique, that brightness inside, that makes it beautiful inside, radiates on its exterior and makes it affectionate, makes it unique, that is the grace of God, to have the ability to radiate in all the places where it arrives, because it is notorious that God is in his life. That is the manifestation of God's grace. Grace is the magnet that God gives to a person so that he becomes a magnet, with the purpose of attracting the blessing of God to his life, and having favor around him, of all the people who come near him. It is the extraordinary form that God places in the life of a believer to fill him with power, pleasure, dominion, faith, conditions .... How to obtain the grace of God. ask God in prayer to enter into the treasures of God's grace, how can you enter into the treasures of God's grace? Those who have faith; As we read in Romans 5: 1-2, "Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ; by whom we also have access by faith to this grace in which we stand, and we glory in the hope of the glory of God. " The grace of God has levels; those levels of grace are only accessible to those who have greater humility. James 4: 6 in this verse is the validation of the word. But He gives more grace. That is why he says: God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble, "which denotes to be stripped of all pride and pride in order to obtain the grace of God. <center> [Source](https://nuestrodios.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/10_opt-1.jpg)</center> Why do we need the grace of God? First, we must recognize that, as we read in Romans 3:23, "all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God," and that "the wages of sin is death" examples of the grace of God in the bible: (Romans 6:23) In other words, sin, or infraction of the law (1 John 3: 4), carries a sentence, which is the death penalty. However, Jesus Christ paid that penalty for us through his sacrifice. It was the sacrifice of Christ, the shedding of his blood, that made it possible for God to give us the gift of his grace; As Romans 3:24 says, we can be "justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus." Therefore, the grace of God is received through Jesus Christ, and, if we did not receive it, we would die as a consequence of our sins without the opportunity to have eternal life. Difference between the Grace of God and mercy. Apart from the word "grace", there are others that are often used to express God's grace in some way, although they are not exactly the same. It is mainly mercy, and also favor, clemency, and kindness. Both in the Old and in the New Testament we have grace and mercy. However, in the Old we have more mercy than grace; while, in the New, we have more grace than mercy. Mercy is compassion towards someone in their misery, in their need and impotence. Mercy moves the hand of God to help that specific need. When the children of Israel moaned in Egypt because of the bondage, and cried out, God heard their groaning and remembered them (Ex. 2: 23-25). In Judges 2:18 it says that Jehovah God raised up judges from time to time to the Israelites, for the groans because of those who afflicted them. God hurts the pain and affliction of his people and comes to his aid. Grace, on the other hand, is an undeserved gift from God to man, which goes beyond mercy, because it enables him to leave his condemnation and live according to God's demands. Mercy does not enable man to live a holy life; instead, grace does provide the power to do so. Mercy helps the unfortunate, but then it is at the expense of his own forces; grace, on the other hand, extends his hand, raises and sustains man in a level of life that pleases God. That is why it is grace and not mercy that was made through Jesus Christ. Grace is seen to shine only in certain moments of antiquity, as in God's covenant with Abraham (Gen. 15: 5-21), and with David (2 Sam. 7: 14-16); but throughout the period of the law God can not manifest his grace (except a "little remnant," Rom 11: 2-6), because the law is not of faith, but of works. Even mercy, in the days of the Old Covenant, appears conditioned. In Exodus 20: 6, for example, it is to those who keep the commandments and love God; to those who obey the law (Deut.7: 12; 30: 3; 1 R.8: 23); to the merciful (2 S.22: 26). And whenever there is talk of an unconditioned mercy, it refers to future Israel, not the present (as in Micah 7: 18-20). Both grace and mercy apply especially to the relationship of God and his people, but also to the relationship of man with his neighbor, when one of them is in a situation of solvency and another in a situation of need. Thus, for example, in the case of grace, it is said that Joseph found grace in the eyes of his master Potiphar (Gen. 39: 4); Ruth, in Boaz (Rt 2:10); Esther, in Ahasuerus (Est 2:17); Daniel, in the chief of the eunuchs (Daniel 1: 9); and Nehemiah, in Artaxerxes (Nh 2: 5,8). <center> [Source](https://nuestrodios.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/resplandor-de-la-gracia-de-dios_opt.jpg)</center> Regarding mercy, it is said that Joseph, being in prison, asks the chief cupbearer to use mercy on him (Gen. 40:14), that Rahab asks the spies for mercy for his father's house ( Jos 2:12); and that David asks for mercy from Saul (1 Samuel 20: 8), etc. In the dealings of man with his neighbor, the grace of God is transformed, either in love, or in mercy. Because grace has only one direction, from top to bottom, of God towards men. On the other hand, love can be - in addition to being vertical, from God to men and men to God - horizontally, in the relations of man with his neighbor. So, those who know the grace of God have love, and also mercy. God demands mercy. Mercy extends from one who has received mercy to one who has not yet received it. Hosea, the prophet, says: "For I desire mercy, and not sacrifice, and knowledge of God more than burnt offerings" (6: 6). The Lord Jesus took this word on more than one occasion to apply it to the Pharisees who were scandalized because the Lord ate with publicans and sinners (Mt 9:13), and who condemned the disciples because they picked ears on the Sabbath day (Mt. 12: 7). The Lord taught us to mercifully forgive those who offend us (Mt 18: 33,35), and to use mercy, as well as to tithe -as the Scribes and Pharisees did exclusively (Mt 23:23). Paul and the other apostles also taught it (Romans 12: 8, Col. 3:12). So in the Bible we have mercy, but above all we have grace, which expresses even better the wonderful character of God, manifested in the Lord Jesus Christ. May the Lord help us to know it better, and to live it. "Grace in the life of the believer is multiform. Grace makes it possible for us to walk with God and empowers us to do His work. God alone is the cause of grace, even though He requires Christians to faithfully apply the means He has placed at His disposal to grow "
