What is grace in the Bible?
La gracia es el favor inmerecido de Dios: bondad y perdón dados a quienes nunca podrían merecerlo. En la Biblia, la gracia es la base de la salvación: Dios da gratuitamente, por la obra de Cristo y no por nuestros méritos.

Grace means a gift, not a wage. The New Testament repeatedly contrasts grace with works: if salvation were earned, it would be a payment owed; because it is grace, it is received as a free gift.
Ephesians 2:8–9 captures it: “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith … it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast.” Grace removes pride and gives confidence, because it rests on God’s generosity, not our record.
Grace also shapes how believers live — not as a license to sin, but as gratitude that produces love and obedience in response to such kindness.
