Fall from grace

Michelangelo Fall from Grace 1508-1512

To fall from grace is an idiom referring to a loss of status, respect, or prestige. It may also refer to:

• Fall of man, Christian term used to describe the transition of the first man and woman from a state of innocent obedience to God to a state of guilty disobedience
• In the New Testament the apostle Paul in his pastoral letter to the Galatians states that "You who are trying to be justified by the law have been alienated from Christ; you have fallen away from grace." (Galatians 5:4 NIV) Paul argues that it is not humanity's sins that constitute a fall from grace, but rather it is our attempts to use our own works to obtain God's favor that is the real fall from the unconditional grace of God.
