What does grace mean in the Bible?
First, By this word grace, we are to understand God's free, sovereign,good pleasure, whereby he acteth in Christ towards his people. Graceand mercy therefore are terms that have their distinct significations;mercy signifies pitifulness, or a running over of infinite bowels toobjects in a miserable and helpless condition. But grace signifies thatGod still acts in this as a free agent, not being wrought upon by themisery of the creature, as a procuring cause; but of his own princelymind.
What is the second motive of the Bible?
I come now to the second motive, to wit, that we may findgrace and mercy to help in time of need; or we shall find grace andmercy to help, if we come as we should, to the throne of grace. In thismotive we have these three things considerable. First, That saints arelike to meet with needy times while they are in this world. Second,That nothing can carry us through our needy times but more, or acontinual supply of mercy and grace. Third, That mercy and grace isto be had at the throne of grace, and we must fetch it from thence byprayer, if we would, as we should, go through these needy times.
