“Grace” is more than mercy and love
“Grace” is more than mercy and love, it super adds to them, it denotes, not simply love, but the love of a sovereign, transcendly superior, one that may do what HE WILL, that may wholly choose whether He will love or no. There may be love between equals, and an inferior may love a superior; but love in a superior, and so superior as He may do what He will, in such a one love is called GRACE,: and therefore grace is attributed to princes; they are said to be gracious to their subjects, whereas subjects cannot be gracious to princes. Now God, Who is an Infinite Sovereign, Who might have chosen whether ever He would love us or no, for Him to love us, this is GRACE. — Thomas Goodwin (1600- 1680).
