My family went to a funeral yesterday and the preacher had a acrostic for grace.

This was in a Methodist Church. Setting aside spiritual things, I still see no grace in this.
1) Is there anyone that would agree with this?
Have you heard any other acrostics?
This is one I use.
Gods

2) Are there others, be they good or bad?

I don't know, nor care, about acrostics, no disrespect intended.
All I know is that grace is God being merciful to a sinner long before that sinner was ever even born, and covenanting with His Son to redeem that sinner in time.
That is grace in all its undeservedness. -

You would have to already be a Christian to receive grace.
How do you become a Christian without grace???
The second one is the one I've always heard.
I don't know of any other "grace" acrostics, but I've heard this one before:

Paul would call this another gospel and deserved of anathema. -

James, what denomination was the preacher who said this?

I know it is not an acrostic, but if you think of it, it is good. -

(Joh 15:5) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
(Joh 15:6) If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
(Joh 15:7) If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
(Joh 15:8) Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.
