The question was once put to me when I was a boy, by a godly man, "What is the meaning of grace?" I was told to write the answer on paper and bring it to him in a few days.
When I got home I took down from my father's bookshelf a large Cruden's Concordance, and copied dawn a page or two on grace. This I presented to my questioner, but the dear man put his pen through it all, and said: "Oh, I don't want all that; Grace is free, undeserved favor.”
What a complete answer! I have salvation, not because I deserved it, or because I have earned it by my goodness. No; it is undeserved and free favor. I paid nothing for it; and better still, that salvation is for all. Titus 2:1111For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, (Titus 2:11) says: “For the grace of God, which carries with it salvation to all men, hath appeared." J.N.D. Trans.
Friend, there is then no excuse. Salvation is brought to your very door, and if you won't have it, there is nothing for you but judgment. You will never be able to blame God, for His grace has brought salvation within your reach, but you will not have it. You are spurning His grace, and throwing away the only means of salvation.

a strong tower: The righteous
runneth into it, and is safe.”
