The Scriptures tell us Grace came by Christ!
John 1:17 For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Romans 5:15,17
15 But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.
16 And not as it was by one that sinned, so is the gift: for the judgment was by one to condemnation, but the free gift is of many offences unto justification.
17 For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
Grace is given by Christ: 1Cor.1: 4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
Grace foretold by prophets: 1 Peter 1:10 Of which salvation the prophets have enquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you:
