When I was a boy, the above question was put to me by a godly man. I was to write out the answer and bring it to him in a few days. So I took from my father's bookshelf a large Cruden's Concordance, and copied down a page or two on "Grace," and submitted it to the old Christian. But the dear man put his pen through it all, and said: "O, I don't want all that! Grace is free, undeserved favor."
What a lovely answer! I have salvation, not because I deserved it, nor because I have earned it. No; it is undeserved and free favor. I paid nothing for it. And 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 that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men."
There is no excuse. Salvation is brought to your very door. If you won't have it, there is nothing left but judgment.
