Bible Scriptures About the Grace of God — Romans
The book of Romans has the most bible verses about grace. Saint Paul’s epistle to the church in Rome is a theological tour de force.
Romans 3:23-24 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!

Paul is clear that grace is not a license to sin. Antinomianism is an illegitimate biblical interpretation of grace.
Romans 6:1-2 What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? 2 By no means! We are those who have died to sin; how can we live in it any longer?

Our spiritual gifts are a type of grace. Grace is multifaceted.
Romans 12:6a We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us.
