Book excerpt: Grace is God blessing us inspite of our unworthiness. Favour is the tangible evidence that a person has the approval of the Lord. This is the main difference between favour, grace, and mercy. Although favour and mercy can be used interchangeably on some occasions, mercy and grace refer to two different things. Grace or favour are not earned by good works, nor do we deserve them: they are entirely the work of God's goodness. Mercy is the doing of some action on behalf of someone in need for which he cannot help himself, out of compassion. While the terms have similar meanings, grace and mercy are not the same. To summarise the difference: mercy is God not punishing us as our sins deserve, and grace is God blessing us despite the fact that we do not deserve it. Mercy is deliverance from judgment. Grace is extending kindness to the unworthy. Grace or favour are not earned by good works, nor do we deserve them: they are entirely the work of God's goodness. Mercy is the doing of some action on behalf of someone in need for which he cannot help himself, out of compassion. We all walk in God's favour but we must have the ability to have faith to achieve or tap in our internal, external and eternal hope of favour to achieve our God given destiny. This book helps us understand the words Grace, Favour and Mercy. It also helps us learn to we can be confident in attaining them .This can be achieved by living the will of God, the laws of God and obeying God by carrying out His purpose for us.
