7 (chs. 1:7; 2:7, 8; Romans 3:24; Titus 2:11). What Is Grace?—The Lord saw our fallen condition; He saw our need of grace, and because He loved our souls, He has given us grace and peace. Grace means favor to one who is undeserving, to one who is lost. The fact that we are sinners, instead of shutting us away from the mercy and love of God, makes the exercise of His love to us a positive necessity in order that we may be saved (The Signs of the Times, June 5, 1893).{6BC 1117.8}8.

7 (Kp. 1,7, 2,7, 8; Rom. 3,24; Titus 2,11). Hvad er nåde? - Herren så vor faldne tilstand; Han så vort behov for behov for nåde, og fordi Han elskede vore sjæle, gav Han os nåde og fred. Nåde betyder gode betingelser til den der er værdig, til den som gået tabt. Faktumet at vi er syndere gør at vi, i stedet for at lukke os ude fra Guds barmhjertighed og kærlighed, gør Hans kærlighed, udøvet mod os, til en tydelig nødvendighed, for at vi kan blive frelst.
