There are many more verses in the bible that are centered around the idea and principle of grace, but the word “grace” isn’t in the scripture verse itself. These can be found with a little bit more study around the topic of grace – here you’ll find a few around the principle of grace.
One of my favorite hymns that talks about grace: Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that will pardon and cleanse within; Grace, grace, God’s grace, Grace that is greater than all our sin!
As well as the famous hymn – Amazing Grace how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me, I once was lost but now I’m found was blind but now I see – the remaining lyrics are just as beautiful!
I hope these verses on grace has been a blessing to you. If so share them with someone who needs to be reminded that we have a merciful and gracious Heavenly Father, for by grace are we saved because we can’t do it ourselves.
