The ultimate expression of God's love for mankind is grace. Grace is best described as being given what you do not deserve. This is different from mercy, which means not getting what you do deserve, such as punishment. The Greek phrasing could be translated as "grace upon grace," or "grace in place of grace." This implies a constant, overflowing gift.
As believers, we are constantly being inundated with the grace of God, because of Jesus Christ. This begins with God reaching out to us to provide salvation. John 3:16 specifies that God acted out His love for us by sending His Son to keep us from dying in our own sins. Beyond that, He continually makes us more and more like Him (Romans 8:29; Colossians 3:10). This is part of the right which was mentioned in John 1:12. As children of God, we are not only rescued, but we're also honored and changed. No matter how much we need, God keeps making us increasingly like Him (Philippians 1:6).
