A question about "the"

Are these sentences ok:
1. Moses lived in the Age of the Law.
2. Peter lived in the Age of the Grace.
3. Timothy lived in the Age of Grace.

Is "the Age of the Grace" correct, or is "the Age of Grace" right? If both are ok, what's the difference?

Hi,

Welcome to the Forum.

1. Moses lived in the Age of the Law.
2. Peter lived in the Age of the Grace.
3. Timothy lived in the Age of Grace.

I'd say that 'the' just makes the reference more specific
