Bible Verses About Grace

27 verses in the King James Version (KJV) and the Berean Standard Bible (BSB)

Grace is receiving a kindness you didn't earn and couldn't repay. In the Bible it describes how God treats people: freely forgiving, patiently helping, and giving strength exactly when it's needed. These verses show grace as both the starting point of faith and the daily fuel for living it. They are a relief to anyone tired of trying to measure up. Read them and notice how often the word "free" or "gift" shows up.
