where does the bible say god helps those who help themselves
God helps those who help themselves The phrase is often mistaken as a scriptural quote, though it is not stated verbatim in the Bible.
Divine grace Grace in Christianity is the free and unmerited favour of God as manifested in the salvation of sinners and the bestowing of blessings.[3] Common Christian teaching is that grace is unmerited mercy (favor) that God gave to humanity by sending his Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross, thus securing man's eternal salvation from sin. Bill Gothard, an American conservative Christian, has suggested "God's grace gives us the desire and the power to do his will."[4]
