Grace has been defined as the outward expression of the inward harmony of the soul.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Grace must find expression in life, otherwise it is not grace.
Grace is in garments, in movements, in manners; beauty in the nude, and in forms. This is true of bodies; but when we speak of feelings, beauty is in their spirituality, and grace in their moderation.
Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God.
Grace is the beauty of form under the influence of freedom.
Grace is the absence of everything that indicates pain or difficulty, hesitation or incongruity.
Grace is a much more accurate word to use when dealing with the state of human existence. God gives us unmerited favor through Jesus Christ, and since Adam and Eve, our lives have depended on it.
Grace is thickly counter-intuitive. It feels risky and unfair. It's dangerous and disorderly. It wrestles control out of our hands. It is wild and unsettling. It turns everything that makes sense to us upside-down and inside-out.
Although the whole man partakes of this grace, it is first and most appropriately in the soul and later progresses to the body, inasmuch as the body of the man is capable of the same obedience to the will of God as the soul.
Grace is the divine assistance or heavenly help each of us desperately needs to qualify for the celestial kingdom. Thus, the enabling power of the Atonement strengthens us to do and be good and to serve beyond our own individual desire and natural capacity.
The word 'grace' means after we must have done everything humanly possible, we must leave the issue with God. That is grace.
