Define grace, faith, works and mercy in 400 words or less! Impossible, you say? Start with the acronym: God’s Riches At Christ’s Expense — GRACE; indeed!

Mercy is that quality of God, borrowed, imitated and apprehended by human beings, to appropriate grace. Like faith, mercy can be measured; you can have more, less or none at all.
