NKJV 365 / Grace

NKJV 365 Day Reading Plan

Day 75 of 365 Grace The Greek word for grace is probably equivalent to the Hebrew word chesed meaning "lovingkindness," a word frequently used by the psalmists to describe God's character. In the NT, the word charisusually means divine favor or goodwill, but it also means "that which gives joy" and "that which is a free gift." This is a noteworthy occurrence of the word grace, because while it was one of Paul's favorite words for God's free gift of salvation, here we see Peter using it in the same way. (Greek charis is mentioned in the following passages: Acts 15:11; Rom. 3:24; 5:15; Eph. 2:5; Titus 2:11) Strong's #5485 Taken from NKJV Study Bible Acts 15:11 NASB 11 But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."
