Grace is God's holy influence upon a soul - the infilling of His Spirit. It teaches us how we should live and enables us to live the holy and pure lives we are mandated by God to live. It is the source that produces conviction in our lives, reminding us to live holy as He is holy, here on this earth now. It is the unmerited favor of God, a gift and the endowed power to overcome all evil and so allow opportunity to obtain salvation.
Grace is the transformative power that eradicates sin in our lives, allowing us to live the overcoming lives we were created to live from the beginning. It deepens our conviction beyond the enticement of sin that we should escape temptation and not fall.
