Who is it for? All humanity- it was only for his chosen people Jews and opened up to all humanity after Jesus.
What does it cover & do?
Cover Sins and Sanctifies
Out of his fullness we have all received grace in place of grace already given. Grace and truth comes through Jesus (John 1:16-17)
to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves. Ephesians 1:6
Ephesians 1:7
In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace

in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus.

However, I consider my life worth nothing to me; my only aim is to
finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me—the
task of testifying to the good news of God’s grace.

Romans 3:24
and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.
Romans 5:2
through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand.
We get our Grace from God and through Jesus- That's why we need Jesus. You can't have God's Grace without the Lamb.
- Romans 5:15
But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God’s grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!
- Romans 5:17
For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God’s abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ!
Romans 5:20-21
But where sin increased, grace increased all the more,so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it cannot be based on works; if it were, grace would no longer be grace.
This is NOT a permission slip to sin! Oh No, what must prove that we are slaves to righteousness and not slaves to the sin. We still must choose a path, even if we find it difficult to stay on course. We must endure the race- we must stay the course- we must keep the Faith. We do that by letting the Holy Spirit reign in your life and continue to die to self and to live by the Spirit that wishes to make you more in the image of Jesus.
NOT by Works! But by the Blood!
Galatians 2:21
I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness could be gained through the law, Christ died for nothing!”

You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace.

Hebrews 10:29
How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who
has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy
thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has
insulted the Spirit of grace?
Zechariah 12:10
“And I will pour out on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem a spirit of grace and supplication. They will look on me, the one they have pierced, and they will mourn for him as one mourns for an only child, and grieve bitterly for him as one grieves for a firstborn son.
How Much Grace?
Ephesians 4:7
colossians 1:6 he gospel is bearing fruit and growing throughout the whole world—just as it has been doing among you since the day you heard it and truly understood God’s grace.
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it.
What the grace can do?
What the grace can do?

When you do Sin - the Grace covers you- and the more you sin the more grace you will receive but be careful because those that intentionally and purposely sin do the following-
Hebrews 10:29
How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God underfoot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified them, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace?
Hebrews 12:15
See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.
It is good for our hearts to be strengthened by grace Hebrews 13:9
If we have grace then why be Holy (work for it)

Jude 1:4
For certain individuals whose condemnation was written about long ago have secretly slipped in among you. They are ungodly people, who pervert the grace of our God into a license for immorality and deny Jesus Christ our only Sovereign and Lord.
The old testament reveals time and time again those that "found God's grace in their Sight" as if it was something that they had to search and look for. Where as through the Blood of the Lamb, that Grace is found at the foot of the Cross.
Grace is for All mankind- but God promises it for those whose walk is most upright.
