Grace offers to us "the grace of God that bringeth salvation... to all men." Titus 2:11¹¹For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (Titus 2:11). It does not ask man to bring works of righteousness to God. "For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost." Luke 19:10¹⁰For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost. (Luke 19:10). But too often the awakened sinner seems to feel that the Savior must be brought to him by his own effort.

Who would tell the sick man to run for the doctor? What nurse would tell the weak infant to feed itself? And has not God shown His pity by bringing His salvation to us? And has not the Lord Jesus manifested His love to sinners by coming into this world to save them?

"God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8⁸But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8). "I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly." John 10:10¹⁰The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. (John 10:10).
