Corresponding Bible verses

Isaiah 9:6-7
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Of the greatness of his government and peace there will be no end. He will reign on David’s throne and over his kingdom, establishing and upholding it with justice and righteousness from that time on and forever. The zeal of the Lord Almighty will accomplish this.

Ephesians 2:8-9

 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.

Personal Importance

Besides sounding pretty, we love the meaning of Natalie Grace because of its spiritual importance. Humanity has chosen to reject their Creator's love and lordship. This rebellion has severed our relationship. God's ultimate desire is for restoration. John 3:16-18 says, "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son." These three verses sum up God's great love and plan for salvation.

May Natalie be an instrument in the hands of God. May she love Him with all of her heart, mind, and soul. May she love others how He first loved her.
