The Grace we’re talking about is the same kind of Grace that was/is in Jesus Himself. The Grace that is in Jesus was not the “unmerited favor” kind of grace, but Grace that meant the “empowering presence of God.” That kind of Grace need not be feared as inadequate or unable to deal with sin. Jesus’ Grace not only saved us (all who believed) but also gave us the power to be righteous, and power to do the works of Jesus. Brilliant news indeed!
