It is evident in the following ways:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Old Testament Grace<\/strong>: While the term &#8220;grace&#8221; is less frequently used in the Old Testament, the concept is present. God&#8217;s favor and mercy towards individuals and the Israelite nation exemplify grace.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>New Testament Grace<\/strong>: The New Testament extensively discusses <a href=\"https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/common-grace\/common-grace-vs-special-grace\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">special&nbsp;grace<\/span><\/a>, especially in the teachings and works of Jesus Christ, as well as the writings of the apostles.&nbsp;<strong>Grace<\/strong>&nbsp;is central to the Christian message of salvation and eternal life through faith in Jesus.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pauline Epistles<\/strong>: Apostle Paul\u2019s letters significantly contribute to the theological understanding of&nbsp;<strong>grace<\/strong>. He explores themes of&nbsp;<strong>justifying grace<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>saving grace<\/strong>, and the transformative power of&nbsp;<strong>God\u2019s grace<\/strong>&nbsp;in the lives of believers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Various Forms of Grace<\/strong>: The Bible presents different&nbsp;<strong>types of grace<\/strong>, including&nbsp;<strong>saving grace<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>serving grace<\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong>sanctifying grace<\/strong>, and more. Each kind of grace reveals how much God loves humanity and the divine plan for salvation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Understanding&nbsp;<strong>grace as a theme in the Bible<\/strong>&nbsp;provides a foundation for appreciating the depth and breadth of <a href=\"https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/grace\/what-is-grace\/\" class=\"ek-link\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">God&#8217;s unmerited favor<\/span><\/a> and love towards humanity. Studying these passages enriches one&#8217;s faith, offering assurance and hope in the promises and provision of God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group popcorn-box-shadow has-border-color has-popcorn-secondary-color-border-color has-popcorn-tertiary-color-background-color has-background is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"border-width:3px;border-radius:10px;padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--40);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:35%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignleft size-large is-resized has-custom-border\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mgyb.co\/s\/Eafgm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-1024x1024.jpg\" alt=\"grace ambassador book\" class=\"has-border-color has-popcorn-tertiary-color-border-color wp-image-2720\" style=\"border-radius:20px;width:307px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-370x370.jpg 370w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-210x210.jpg 210w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-770x770.jpg 770w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-940x940.jpg 940w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/drjohnjackson.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Grace-Ambassador-Mockup.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-top is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-left:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);flex-basis:65%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-popcorn-quinary-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-popcorn-font-l-font-size wp-elements-87d3a12c0381a310c0553d82d3b5085c\" id=\"grace-ambassador-bringing-heaven-to-earth\">Grace Ambassador: Bringing Heaven To Earth<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-popcorn-quinary-color-color has-text-color has-link-color has-popcorn-font-b-font-size wp-elements-95ef2c312c2fa6868eec8a8913084bb2\">As believers, we have received unimaginable grace from the Father. Unfortunately, we often separate our spiritual life from our everyday lives. We fail to value the grace given to us, and we miss the opportunity to bring heaven to earth.
