What is a Favour?

Favour is a special privilege that is granted to someone by one with his consent. In most circumstances, this is prearranged by those who are in power or have authority like a king. In religious terms, it can be said to as favoured by God. Favour is typically observed in today’s languages as financial welfares or tangible benefits or symbolic profits.

In pious terms, faith or trust in God receives favour. Favour can be put into words that it is an unusual liking of God towards us. God positions it as his own choice. The favour given by God can be said as it is tangible evidence that God is with that person, and what he is doing is approved by God. Further, when a favour is given to someone, we want to be physically present with that person until that work is completed.

If we are to give that a favour, then we connect with that specific person in a way that we do not normally connect with other persons. We feel delighted to be with that person. And favour is given to only those persons who also have the capacity to give back favours.

Similarly, God showers one with his favour and consent to those who are connected with him, give honor to him and please him. It is usually interchanged with his opponent word Grace too. Favour is material proof that a person has the consent of God in his deeds.

Favour as a noun means as an approval or approbation for something. Favour as a verb means to advocate or recommend one to someone. Synonyms for Favour are partiality, favoritism, etc. Common examples of these words as in sentences can be explained as, for a favour, “He is favored by God’s will in his doings.”.

What is Grace?

Grace is a gift or something that is given for open, which a person is unable to gain. It is an un-merited to someone. For example, if students are given extra marks to get promoted to the next level, these marks are given to the students, which they were not entitled to, and this enabled them to sit in the next level.

When a person helps someone to achieve something that a person is unable to obtain, or it is not in his power to get that thing, this helping can be categorized as a grace. In religious terms, grace is a free and unentitled blessing of God. It can also be explained as it is divine assistance that is given to us for their regeneration and sanctification.

Grace is not earned by good deeds; however, they are entirely the work of God’s willingness. There are two types of graces in terms of theology, common grace and saving grace. It is a common grace when the grace of God acts towards every human being the same way. It means the essentials God has given to one, the beauty and creation, and every good thing to happens to a person.

However, saving grace provides salvation to a person. Grace as a noun means courtesy, politeness or decency, etc. Grace, on the other hand, as a verb means to magnify, enhance, or upgrade. It has synonyms as elegance, courtesy. Common examples of these words, as in sentences, can be explained as “It was his Grace that he showered me with this blessing.
