Grace vs. Merit

Front

In Christian theology, how does 'Grace' differ from 'Merit'?

Back

Grace is unmerited favor given by God to the undeserving, whereas merit refers to receiving a reward based on one's own works or worthiness.

Explanation

Christianity teaches that salvation is by grace (charis), meaning it cannot be earned or achieved through effort.

Source or basis: Ephesians 2:8-9
