Hastings' Dictionary of the Bible (1898)
GRACE denotes the love of God as displayed in his free favor toward men as sinners and destitute of all claim upon him. 1 Tim 1:2. Hence the N.T., which reveals the plan by which this grace is bestowed, is called "the gospel of the grace of God." Acts 20:24. The apostolic Epistles begin with the salutation, "Grace and peace be with you."
