The grace of the Lord through the Atonement can both cleanse us of sin and assist us in perfecting ourselves through our trials, sicknesses, and even “character defects.” We are both sanctified and justified through the grace of the Lord. See 2 Ne. 10:23–25.) “For we know that it is by grace that we are saved, after all we can do.” (2 Ne. 25:23.) Thus, unless one has done all in his own power, he cannot expect the grace of God to be manifest.

Grace We are told in the Doctrine and Covenants that we are to “grow in grace.” 14 Grace is a God-given virtue. It is a charming trait or accomplishment, “a pleasingly graceful appearance.” 15 Charm is attractiveness which comes from a feeling of personal dignity, an inner beauty that comes from a feeling of self-worth.

If we are willing to humble ourselves, then, as it says, “my grace is sufficient.” In the Bible Dictionary, grace is defined as an “enabling power” (697). The grace of God and of His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, is the answer to that predicament.

The word grace is not an easy term to define. We know that the Lord is willing not only to have us involved in his grace, but that he has commanded us to grow from grace to grace (see D&C 93:1–20).

We know that the Lord is willing not only to give us his grace, but that he has commanded us to grow from grace to grace. The Lord also stresses what a key role repentance plays in obtaining grace: “And may God grant, in his great fulness, that men might be brought unto repentance and good works, that they might be restored unto grace for grace, according to their works” (Hel. 12:24; italics added).

We worked hard but knew that without the sunshine and rain, the grace and mercy of God, and the benevolence of loving parents, we could accomplish nothing. Without grace, our valiance alone cannot save us.

Works and Grace The doctrine of grace is better understood when we distinguish between grace and mercy, even though the words are often used interchangeably in the scriptures. Being under grace, or to put it more clearly, under the law of God, simply means that we are subject to the conditions He has set forth for this grace.

His strength and His grace enable us to do things we could not do if left to our own capacities. Possible topics might include the Atonement, grace, healing, hope, or repentance.

When it was time for Grace and Ethan to sing, Grace looked at Mom. “You can do it, Grace,” Mom whispered. 3. When the music started, Grace and Ethan sang “Jesus Has Risen.” Grace remembered all of the words and all of the notes. 5.

By grace, the Savior accomplished his atoning sacrifice so that all mankind will attain immortality. By his grace we become more like his divine personality.

We receive God’s grace because of the Atonement. If your friends ask, “Does your church believe you are saved by grace or works?” you could say, “We believe that we are saved by grace after all we can do (see 2 Ne. 25:23).

Aunt Grace exclaimed. “Does that dog have to make so much noise?” “Excuse me,” I said, standing up. “I’ll go see what’s the matter with him.” I didn’t want to hear what the doctor said about Aunt Grace’s headaches anyway. I guess I’d wanted to scare Aunt Grace.

Grace sighed and dragged herself out of bed. She paused. “He saved our lives.” Grace said in a trembling voice, “It was lucky that he was working up on the power poles and saw the smoke, or we might have been inside when the fire got worse.” Grace didn’t want to think of what might have happened.

Grace drank every drop, then licked off her milk mustache. “Now I’m ready for bed,” Grace said, snuggling deep into the warmth of her covers. Grace slipped out of bed onto her knees.
