It encompasses the idea of divine assistance given to humans for their regeneration and sanctification. "Charis" is often associated with the concept of salvation, as it is by grace that believers are saved through faith (Ephesians 2:8). It also denotes the graciousness of God in bestowing gifts and blessings upon His people, as well as the grace that believers are to extend to others.Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, "charis" was commonly understood as a favor or gift given without expectation of return, often to cement social bonds or express goodwill. In the New Testament, this concept is deepened and transformed to express the profound and unconditional love of God towards humanity, which is not based on human merit but on God's own character and purpose.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div>Cognate: 5485 xáris (another feminine noun from xar-, "favor, disposed to, inclined, favorable towards, leaning towards to share benefit") – properly, grace. <a href="/greek/5485.htm">5485</a> (xáris) is preeminently used of the Lord's favor – freely extended to give Himself away to people (because He is "always leaning toward them").<a href="/greek/5485.htm">5485</a> /xáris ("grace") answers directly to the Hebrew (OT) term <a href="/hebrew/2580.htm">2580</a> /Kaná ("grace, extension-toward").
