The grace of God is a prominent...

For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men.

Grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

… being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood.
Titus 2:11; John 1:17; Romans 3:24–25

The grace of God is a prominent theme in the Bible. What is grace anyway? My world encyclopaedia provides the following information: “Grace is a basic concept of Christian doctrine. It is given to people without any merit, out of God’s free benevolence.” Another source says, “Grace is the undeserved mercy of God toward sinners who deserve just the opposite.”

Complete redemption instead of eternal punishment: this is what God’s grace offers us. It is part of the essence of grace that it is free for all mankind and does not presuppose any merit. Otherwise, it would not be possible at all. For who could fulfil the just demands of God? And yet God’s justice requires an adequate, just basis on which grace is shown to us. That is why the Bible repeatedly speaks of Jesus Christ and His atoning death on the cross. God can only pardon me, the guilty sinner, because Jesus Christ confessed my guilt and took the punishment upon Himself. In this way, He satisfied the justice of God for me and my sins.

We read in the Bible that in Christ, “the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men”. Really, for all? Yes, it is offered to all people without distinction – and for free. We only have to claim it personally for ourselves by confessing our guilt to God and believing in Christ and His atoning death for us.

Today’s reading: 2 Kings 5:15-27 · John 18:28-32

When we teach about tithes and first fruits, some people think that it is the pastor's way of making money but they are making a great mistake.
