While I was waiting for the Sign Man to do his thing, I went to my Bible link and searched "grace". Mention of the word on Book TV on C-SPAN plus a illustrated "forward" from a friend got me to thinking about it.

There are 159 references to "grace" in the King James Version, 37 in the Old Testament and 122 in the New Testament. Most of the New Testament references are by Paul. Here are three of them from Galations:

Galatians 2:21
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.
Galatians 2:20-21 (in Context) Galatians 2 (Whole Chapter)

Galatians 5:4
Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace.
Galatians 5:3-5 (in Context) Galatians 5 (Whole Chapter)

Galatians 6:18
Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Galatians 6:17-18 (in Context) Galatians 6 (Whole Chapter)

Marvelous grace! Nuff said?
