Action Words Around Grace in the Scriptures
Give
Grace is always a gift — unearned, unforced. It is given freely from the heart of God to meet our need and awaken our spirit.
“He gives more grace.” – James 4:6
Accord
Grace aligns us with God's will — things are done in accord with His purpose. It brings harmony between the giver and the receiver.
“It is granted according to the grace given…”
Have
Grace assures us of what we already have in Christ — peace, adoption, access, and hope.
“We have access by faith into this grace…” – Romans 5:2
Let
Grace invites — it doesn’t force. It says “let My strength be enough.” It opens the door, but never kicks it in.
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence…” – Hebrews 4:16
Say
Grace teaches us what to say — and what not to. It seasons our speech with peace, humility, and truth.
“Let your conversation be always full of grace…” – Colossians 4:6
Abound
Grace doesn’t trickle — it overflows. When it enters our lives, it abounds, covering lack and increasing righteousness.
“Where sin increased, grace abounded all the more.” – Romans 5:20
Become
Grace transforms. It helps us become what we could never be on our own — beloved, holy, radiant.
“By the grace of God, I am what I am…” – 1 Corinthians 15:10
Come
Grace comes to us — sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly — in our time of need.
“The grace of God has appeared…” – Titus 2:11
Find
Grace is not hidden — it is discoverable by faith. We are meant to find grace when we seek mercy.
“That we may obtain mercy and find grace…” – Hebrews 4:16
Know
Grace is not just an idea — it is a relationship. We know it through Jesus, who embodies it fully.
“You know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ…” – 2 Corinthians 8:9
Receive
Grace can only be experienced by those who receive it. It’s not something we take, but something we open to.
“From His fullness we have all received… grace upon grace.” – John 1:16
Make
Grace empowers. It makes us strong in weakness, courageous in fear, whole in brokenness.
“My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” – 2 Corinthians 12:9
