It is derived from the Hebrew word "חַנּוּן" (chanun) and the Greek word "χάρις" (charis), both of which convey the idea of kindness, favor, and compassion. God's Gracious Nature The Bible frequently emphasizes the gracious nature of God. In the Old Testament, God is described as "gracious and compassionate, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and faithfulness" (<a href="/exodus/34-6.htm">Exodus 34:6</a>). This description is foundational to understanding God's interactions with humanity. His graciousness is evident in His willingness to forgive sins and extend mercy, as seen in <a href="/psalms/103-8.htm">Psalm 103:8</a>: "The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion." God's graciousness is also demonstrated in His provision and care for His people. In <a href="/psalms/145-8.htm">Psalm 145:8-9</a>, it is written, "The LORD is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in loving devotion. The LORD is good to all; His compassion rests on all He has made." This passage highlights God's universal benevolence and His desire to bless His creation. Graciousness in Jesus Christ The New Testament reveals the ultimate expression of God's grace through Jesus Christ. <a href="/john/1-14.htm">John 1:14</a> states, "The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us. We have seen His glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." Jesus embodies the grace of God, offering salvation and eternal life to all who believe in Him. The Apostle Paul frequently speaks of the grace of God in Christ. In <a href="/ephesians/2-8.htm">Ephesians 2:8-9</a>, he writes, "For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God, not by works, so that no one can boast." This passage underscores the unmerited favor bestowed upon believers, emphasizing that salvation is a gift rather than a result of human effort. The Call to Be Gracious Believers are called to emulate God's graciousness in their own lives. The Apostle Paul exhorts Christians to "be kind and tenderhearted to one another, forgiving each other just as in Christ God forgave you" (<a href="/ephesians/4-32.htm">Ephesians 4:32</a>). This call to graciousness involves showing kindness, compassion, and forgiveness to others, reflecting the character of God. In <a href="/colossians/4-6.htm">Colossians 4:6</a>, Paul advises, "Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone." This instruction highlights the importance of gracious communication, encouraging believers to speak with kindness and wisdom. Graciousness in the Community of Believers The early Christian community was marked by acts of grace and generosity. In <a href="/acts/4-33.htm">Acts 4:33-34</a>, it is recorded, "With great power the apostles continued to give their testimony about the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And abundant grace was upon them all. There were no needy ones among them, because those who owned lands or houses would sell their property, bring the proceeds from the sales." This passage illustrates how the grace of God manifested in the lives of believers, leading to a community characterized by selflessness and care for one another. Conclusion The concept of graciousness in the Bible is deeply rooted in the character of God and is exemplified in the life and work of Jesus Christ. Believers are called to reflect this divine attribute in their interactions with others, fostering a community of kindness, compassion, and forgiveness.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1. (a.) Abounding in grace or mercy; manifesting love,. or bestowing mercy; characterized by grace; beneficent; merciful; disposed to show kindness or favor; condescending; as, his most gracious majesty.2. (a.) Abounding in beauty, loveliness, or amiability; graceful; excellent.3. (a.) Produced by divine grace; influenced or controlled by the divine influence; as, gracious affections.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>GRACIOUSgra'-shus (chanan; charis): In general, the word means "to favor," "to show kindness" to an inferior and "to be compassionate." All Old Testament passages are derived from the same root, and yet there are two evident shades of meaning derived from it. (1) As above, "favorable" or, causative, "to cause to be gracious," as "Yahweh make his face to shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee" (<a href="/numbers/6-25.htm">Numbers 6:25</a>); "And the Lord was gracious unto them" (<a href="/2_kings/13-23.htm">2 Kings 13:23</a> the King James Version); "The Lord is gracious and full of compassion" (<a href="/psalms/145-8.htm">Psalm 145:8</a> the King James Version). (2) In a modified sense, "graceful," "winsome" or "attractive," as applied particularly to persons and things. Used thus 3 times in the Old Testament and once in the New Testament. "A gracious woman retaineth honor" (<a href="/proverbs/11-16.htm">Proverbs 11:16</a> the King James Version; compare <a href="/ecclesiastes/10-12.htm">Ecclesiastes 10:12</a> <a href="/luke/4-22.htm">Luke 4:22</a>). The word is used once in the New Testament from root of Greek word chrestos, meaning "useful" as a benefit: "if ye have tasted that the Lord is gracious" (<a href="/1_peter/2-3.htm">1 Peter 2:3</a>). In the main, however, the adjective is applied in the Old Testament to Yahweh, as indicative of His favor and mercy, His long-suffering and general inclination of favor and kindness. Walter G.
