John 1:17 and Rom. 3:28: Two-faced scriptures on law and grace?

What is “grace” in the New Testament of the Bible, and who gives it? Did Yeshua’s grace replace or usurp God’s grace?

Works of Torah obedience are only of use to the believer after one trusts in God for salvation — not before — because salvation cannot be earned.
