Grace

My understanding of the definition of GRACE:

God's unfailing, intimate, forgiving, familial, supreme, encompassing, tender and generous-

Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness, Freedom, Order, Power and Authority-

For me!  To me!  In me!  And through me!

And all of this is Jesus.

Jesus is Grace.

Cognate: 5485 xáris (another feminine noun from xar-, "favor, disposed to, inclinedfavorable towards, leaning towards to share benefit") – properly, grace5485 (xáris) is preeminently used of the Lord's favor – freely extended to give Himself away to people (because He is "always leaning toward them").
5485 /xáris ("grace") answers directly to the Hebrew (OT) term 2580/Kaná ("grace, extension-toward"). Both refer to God freely extending Himself (His favor, grace), reaching (inclining) to people because He isdisposed to bless (be near) them.
[5485 (xáris) is sometimes rendered "thanks" but the core-idea is "favorgrace" ("extension towards").]
