Miraculous gifts, special appointments, and the ability to overcome are said to be gifts of grace (Romans 12:3, 12:6, 15:15, 1 Corinthians 3:10, 15:10, 2 Corinthians 8:1, 9:8, 12:9, Galatians 1:15, 2:9, Ephesians 3:2, 3:7, 4:7, 1 Peter 4:10)
Grace and works are contrasted (Romans 6:14, 11:6, Galatians 5:4)
Grace describes the character of God that resulted in our redemption from our slavery to sin through the sacrifice of Jesus. He justifies those who have the faith of Jesus (Romans 3:26) or the faith of Abraham (Romans 4:16). Faith is the most valuable commodity in the universe, so God will pay any price for those who grow it. The purchase price is a gift because we, even with faith, do not possess what would be necessary to satisfy justice.
