common grace
Common grace refers to the concept that God's grace is extended to all people, regardless of their faith or beliefs. This grace allows for the existence of goodness, beauty, and moral order in the world, enabling individuals to experience love, joy, and kindness. It is not limited to the saved but is available to everyone, promoting a sense of community and shared humanity.
This idea is often contrasted with saving grace, which is specific to those who accept Christianity and believe in Jesus Christ. Common grace can be seen in various aspects of life, such as the beauty of nature, the joy of relationships, and the pursuit of knowledge, all of which contribute to a better world for everyone.
