Day 109. What is grace? (2024)

Today is day 109 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the sixteenth line: “The Forgiveness of Sins”.

109. What is grace?

Grace is God’s undeserved gift of his love, mercy, and help, which he freely offers to us who, because of our sin, deserve only condemnation. (Genesis 50:15–21; Psalm 106; Joel 2:12–13; Luke 7:36–50; Romans 5:15–21; Ephesians 2:4–9; Hebrews 4:14–16)

We will conclude today with A Collect for Grace in Morning Prayer found on page 23 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
