חסד האל או האלוהים - חסד


Explanation:
It seems like the term used for christianism.

Example sentence(s):
  • בזכות חסד האל, ניתן לאדם למלא את רצונו. עקרון החסד ביטל את הצורך בתיווך הכנסייה בקשר בין אדם לאלוהיו.

I have no idea of the interpretation given to this concept in Christianity, maybe they do translate it as חסד which means "kindness" or "charity" in Hebrew. "חנון" expresses G-d's unlimited giving.

Example sentence(s):
  • חנון ורחום ה', ארך אפיים ורב חסד
