Life in God’s grace.

Because the word “at birth” is not used in Western theology for human strength, ability, and life in man is called “grace”. The new law
he calls it the “law of grace.” The Greek word char is charm, beauty, charity and gratitude. He replaces Heb with the shrewd word hen, the root of which would mean something like bowing. It therefore expresses the charity of God, who inclines from his height to man.
For the Greek Fathers, in addition to charts, grace is used as well as the term pneuma, spirit. More or less both have same sense. It is the same gift of God to man. The word “spirit” expresses his divine qualities, his grace, then he wants to indicate that God gives it voluntarily. The Latin word gratia, corresponding to Greek, means goodness and God’s affection for man. 
In medieval scholastic theology, however, they began to distinguish between uncreated and created grace. «Grace uncreated »is God Himself, the Holy Spirit, who comes to us tilts. “Grace created” is the sum of the gifts that come from it for the soul they flow. All we are and have is the gift of God, so all is grace. Nevertheless, in professional theological dictionary uses the term grace only for gifts, which is called “supernatural”, that is, for those who do not belong to our perfection, as contained in the concept man and humanity. For example. To know that there is one God,  we can by “natural” human judgment. Faith in the Holy Trinity is the “supernatural” gift of faith, that is, my lot. Thus, the gifts of grace are “voluntary.” God gives them
then and as it deems appropriate. Nobody has the right to them. They “elevate” man to a “state of grace,” they give him higher perfection than he would be able to do with his own on their own. This scholastic distinction is very useful for expressing several basic truths about grace. However, we are well aware that the whole participation in he cannot express God’s life in several terms. The traitor helps himself here with figurative symbolic expressions, aphorisms, the experience of saints. Let’s remember, at least the main ones.
Aphorisms of grace.
Grace is God’s voluntary gift. God of man freely created, freely and voluntarily elevates him to the “supernumerary” order. No one can determine for himself how long he will live, what degree of holiness he will attain, or for what role he is called here in the world. Why he became the father of God of the nation Abraham, why did Christ choose the head of the Church? St. Peter, why did he send St. Paul to the nations?  Will say creation to the one who created it: «Why did you make me like this? » Or the potter has no power over the clay to make of the same mass made one vessel for noble purposes and the other for mundane? (Romans 9: 20-21).
Grace or merit? There was much at the time of the Reformation disputes whether a person is saved for his merits, or whether to rely on God’s grace. It’s always good to watch disputes over time, then we can easily realize their uselessness, especially if they are both right parties. The misunderstanding arose with the word “merit.” Try replacing them with another term first, e.g. the price. After we could beg the beggar. Catholic morality says that it is a meritorious deed that God rewards him here and their eternity. But can we ask what the “price” is? We evaluate actions not only by what has happened, but above all according to who did it. What is the servant of the tree that bears fruit? Very small, because it is a force of nature. We do not evaluate animal deeds in the right way, either meaning of the word. Good and bad, that is, worthy of reward or punishment are acts conscious and voluntary, human deeds. It is because they are human, they have value, and they are meritorious in between people, that is, in the environment where they originated. It would be difficult to transmit them to heaven and give them immortal value. And yet they have it. For these are works in God’s grace.
The Holy Spirit who dwells in us prays and acts with us everything good. So even in our good deeds it is supernatural price, immortal value, are meritorious even before God. We save ourselves and the world by our merits. That we are being able to do something deserving is a work of grace. Therefore, we are not right to ask: Grace or merit? We have merit, because God gives us grace to have value our cooperation with the Holy Spirit. Grace presupposes, naturally presupposes, uplifts.

Gregor Palamas says that a good theologian once says that other times differently, and yet does not contradict each other. He is aware of that
all that is said about God is only a partial expression of that selfishness. Therefore, one statement is corrected, given to it correct measure with the opposite statement. We are just seeing an example in these three claims about God’s grace. Grace “presupposes” nature. To be received the gift of the Holy Spirit, we must first be human.
To be human in the true sense of the word is to develop all your human talents and abilities. Noble hu manism, study, natural mental and physical education and everything that makes a person better, stronger, healthier, more efficient, can and should also be a good preparation for the spiritual life. If it is said to be in a healthy body a healthy spirit, we wish that the Holy Spirit also resides in a “temple” that is dignified, in a person who corresponds to the ideas of the quarry of mankind. If grace is the sun and the rain, it is human effort by the preparatory work of the gardener.
However, we cannot go so far as to make God’s lot completely dependent on human perfection. She stopped would be a voluntary gift from God. God can do saints and sinner – from the persecutor of the Church of Savlo grace did at one point the apostle Paul (Acts 9: 1 , weak and timid children endured martyrdom death for Christ. In this sense, the psychological laws of nature have “abolished”. Grace seemed to ignore them to get better manifested the power of God. Let us not forget, however, that this “abolition” of human nature was of its own benefit. St. Paul did not cease to be the son of his nation, his abilities, his upbringing, his explosive nature are manifested even after conversion. But now they are already in the service of Christ, not against him. Grace all she “lifted up” the apostle’s talents, giving them words and deeds new goal and new strength. Therefore, it is said that grace cooperates with human nature. Grace gives God’s power to human works. The best see this in the example of prayer. What can a person do? Raise your hands, move your lips, beg, call, desire. That all
however, the course of the world will not change. However, the situation is completely different if the call of the Holy Spirit cooperates with our prayer (cf. Rom 8:26) and the voice of Christ himself, in whom he may laugh tell me, “Our Father!” But every good deed is prayer, therefore, interferes with the events of the world by the power of God. Grace is necessary for salvation. We don’t need it to prove if we realize that the word “grace” means the same as “life in Christ”, “eternal life”. Without her, it would our deeds were not “meritorious”, they would not be supernatural value, much like a dead body without a soul.

All people receive grace (gratia suf ficiens) to be saved. God wants to bring all people to salvation (cf. Lk 19:10), without God’s grace they would not have reached it. So we have to assume that everyone gets it
to a sufficient extent. However, this simplifies the old and not useful dispute about “predestination” for salvation. By God He “called” them all to himself, thus “predestining” them (cf. Rom 8:30). In what way, under what conditions, to what extent and when God’s grace touches man however, we do not know. Therefore, we do not condemn anyone as a person, even though his deeds are really bad. God’s grace is strong. One look of Christ was enough, that the customs officer Matthew left everything and became an apostle. No sin that cannot be forgiven is not a sinner who cannot be turned into a saint. Therefore, with great we pray with confidence for ourselves and for others. «Saints The Spirit, »as St. Cyril of Jerusalem, “is a great gift; omnipotent and admirable … It works all over the world. He gives one chastity, the other enduring virginity, and the third mercy, another desire for poverty, another strength drive away evil spirits. » But we are in the world. And here it is  there was still a subversive force that thwarted God’s plans and thwarts his work. However, we believe that in the end grace over evil will prevail, yet we rightly regard every denial of God’s grace as a fateful step in life individual in the history of the world.Gregor Palamas says that a good theologian once says that
