What Is Grace?

There is something else in the world besides poor, weak human nature. There is grace. Grace is this higher wisdom, a higher power that can come to us. The word grace, or “gratis”, merely means that it is free. We cannot merit it in the strict sense. It appears repeatedly in the New Testament. In the Greek, its’ name is charis. And it is mentioned about one hundred fifty times. If there is another life above the purely natural or human, then it is possible for every Christian to lead a double life, a real double life: a natural life and a divine life; a human life, and a spiritual life.
