In Christianity, grace has several meanings. First, common grace is an unmerited, unearned free gift or divine assistance from God which enhances the recipient in some way. Second, there is sanctifying or efficacious grace which through Baptism makes a person a new creation. As a Christian grows in grace, they become more conformed to the triune God from whom the grace emminates.
