''''Divine grace''' is a [[theology|theological]] term which is present in many and varied spiritual traditions. However, there are significant differences between the way people of different traditions use the word. == Christian conceptions of grace == {{Main|Grace (Christianity)}} Within Christianity, there are differing conceptions of grace. In particular, Catholics and Protestants use the word in substantially different ways. It has been termed "the watershed that divides [[Catholicism]] from [[Protestantism]], Calvinism from Arminianism, modern liberalism from conservatism".<ref>Charles C. Ryrie, ''The Grace of God'' (Chicago: Moody Press, 1963), pp. 10-11.</ref> Catholic doctrine teaches God may use the sacraments to facilitate the reception of His grace.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} Protestants generally do not hold that view.{{Citation needed|date=April 2010}} Romans 5:1-2 (King James Version) "¹Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: ²By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand..." Galatians 5:4 (King James Version) "⁴Christ is become of no effect unto you, whosoever of you are justified by the law; ye are fallen from grace." Grace in this context being something that is God-given, made possible only by Jesus Christ and none other. The view that Christians have on grace is undeserved mercy that God gave to us by sending his son to die on a cross to give us a way to be with him in for the balance of eternity. == Non-Christian conceptions of grace == ==== Hindu conceptions of grace ==== The [[Hindu philosophy|Hindu philosopher]] [[Madhvacharya]] held that grace was not a gift from God, but rather must be earned.<ref>''Great Thinkers of the Eastern World'', Ian McGreal</ref>2.2 Non-theist conceptions of grace === Non-theist conceptions of grace === From a [[nontheist]], [[naturalist]], and [[rationalist]] perspective, the concept of divine grace appears to be the same nonexistent concept as [[luck]].<ref>''Ability'', Arnold S.
