Pour la théologie orthodoxe, '''la grâce''' est le don de la propre présence et action de Dieu dans Sa création. Par la grâce, Dieu pardonne les [[péché]]s et transforme le fidèle à Son [[image et ressemblance]]. La grâce n'est pas simplement une faveur non-méritée – une attitude de Dieu envers le fidèle. La grâce est l'énergie incrée de Dieu conférée dans les [[Sacrement]]s et est dès lors véritablement expérimentée. Un Chrétien est sauvé par la grâce, qui est un don de Dieu et non pas une récompense pour de bonnes oeuvres. Cependant, vu que la grâce change une personne, il ou elle manifestera les effets de la grâce par une vie de juste.
Grace is the working of God himself, not a created substance of any kind that can be treated like a commodity.

==Dimension trinitaire==
La grâce n'est pas une énergie impresonelle. L'Eglise Orthodoxe croit que par les personnes de la Sainte Trinité la grâce est donnée aux humains, et que toute action de Dieu envers le genre humain vient du Père par le Fils dans le Saint Esprit.
==Human will and God's grace==
It is the teaching of the Church that the grace of God invites all but compels none. "Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in" ([[Book of Revelation|Revelation]] 3:20). One cannot achieve full fellowship with God (''[[theosis]]'') without God's help, yet one must also play one's own part to the common work with God. Although what God does is of immeasurably greater importance, divine grace and human will are equally necessary.
==Sacraments==
The [[sacraments]] are seen as a "means of grace" because God works through his Church, not just because specific legalistic rules are followed.
==Ascetical disciplines==
The Church emphasizes the role of the Holy Spirit in [[Christian]] life, and has maintained [[asceticism|ascetical]] disciplines such as [[fasting]] and [[almsgiving]], not as a way to make [[penance]] for past [[sin]]s nor to build up grace, but as a means of spiritual discipline, to help reduce sin in the future. There is no doctrine of [[purgatory]] or "treasury of surplus merit."
==Church Fathers==
"The roof of any house stands upon the foundations and the rest of the structure. The foundations themselves are laid in order to carry the roof. This is both useful and necessary, for the roof cannot stand without the foundations and the foundations are absolutely useless without the roof—no help to any living creature. In the same way the grace of God is preserved by the practice of the commandments, and the observance of these commandments is laid down like foundations through the gift of God. The grace of the Spirit cannot remain with us without the practice of the commandments, but the practice of the commandments is of no help or advantage to us without the grace of God."
