Grace depends completely upon the character, plan, and work of God and never upon the character, plan, or work of man.
“And after you have suffered for a while, the God of all grace, who called you to His eternal glory in Christ, will Himself perfect, confirm, strengthen and establish you.” (1 Pet.5:10)
“Grace proceeds entirely from within God and is no way conditioned by anything in the object of His favor.” (I.S.B.E, pg.129)
Therefore grace is not conditioned by anything in the object and always glorifies God. “But if it is by grace, it is no longer on the basis of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace.” (Rom.11:6)
