Grace in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

What is it about?

This study explores how members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints think and feel about divine grace. Participants described divine grace as a generous gift that can bring up a range of emotions (e.g., gratitude, guilt) and behaviors (prayer, seeking guidance, sharing grace with others, striving to be “worthy”). These emotions and behaviors may have implications for how people function individually and in social groups.
