Why does God give us grace?

We are told that "God is Love." And that's true.
We are told that "God so loved the world." And that's also true.
We are told that God "chose us...before the creation of the world." And that, my friends, is true as well.

Christianity is based on the fact that God gives people grace that they don't deserve. But why? Well, here's the answer: only God knows.

As Ephesians 1:5-6 tells us.
"He predestined us...according to the purpose of his will - to the praise of his glorious grace."
That's it.
According to the purpose of his will. To the praise of his glory.

This should fill us with awesome wonder...while welling up in us an inexpressible thankfulness.

And how does this grace come to us?
Through Jesus Christ!

[EDIT: As I have further learned, later on in the book of Ephesians, we get a little more insight. It says that God's kindness to us is to show the riches of his grace to those in the coming ages (2:6-7). The really crazy part is that it says this will happen as we are seated with Christ in the heavenly realms, which seems to indicate that his glory is being shown to angels or other heavenly beings we know nothing about! This idea is backed up in Eph 3:10. ]
