Grace in the Bible refers to the undeserved love, mercy, and favor [kindness or good will] that God shows towards humanity. (Undeserved means that it is given even though we have not earned or deserved it).

For example:

• Jesus showed grace to the woman caught in adultery by not condemning her, but instead, forgiving her and encouraging her to sin no more.
