2. MAIN IDEA
Grace is giving somebody something good that he or she doesn’t deserve. We deserve punishment for our sin, but instead, God offers us salvation through Jesus Christ. When we place faith in Christ as our Savior we are saved from punishment, we are justified (judged by God as innocent and righteous), and we have peace with God.
NKJV

3. MEMORY VERSES
ROMANS 5:1-2 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom also we have access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.
