All of God’s family is “full of grace.”

What a pile of post-reformation revisionism.

Please quote even one other line where any biblical figure Mary were called “Full of Grace”, let alone by an angel.

Read the Bible. Your answer is there on hundreds of pages.

Do you even know what the "grace of God" is? It is Jesus Christ given to us as a propitiation for our sins. It is Christ within all believing men and women. It is the unmerited gift of God to His family. We are saved by the grace of God within us through the faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth...

And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace." -- John 1:14,16

Who has been filled with the grace of God?

Well, the first explicit notation in Scripture says it was Noah...

"But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD." -- Genesis 6:8

On through all the saints of the Old Testament and into the New Testament -- all whom have been given faith in Jesus Christ are filled with the grace of God.

"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God...

For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)" -- Romans 5:1-2,17


"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me." -- 1 Corinthians 15:10
