"For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men."
Years ago I read about a man who got tired of getting so much junkmail that he began mailing it back. He would use his postge paid envelope from the "Pre-Approved Discover Card" offer and mail them a "Have you seen me" postcard. All of his efforts, designed to stop the junkmail, were fruitless. Like all other houses in America, the junkmail appeared.
God's grace shares one characteristic with junkmail. Everyone gets some. Here God promises that His grace will appear to all men. Please understand that God is not sexist and that "men" in the bible refers to both men and women. So Ladies, you are not left out either.
Many companies make their best pitch to solve your problems. When it comes to mail, the reality is you are someone I owe money or someone who wants me to owe them money. Either way I am not excited to get the mail. God's grace is better than mail or junkmail because He really delivers what He promises. Even better, there is no fine print that negates everything that has been written boldly on the outside of the envelope! His grace will bring you to salvation if you will just open up an accept the offer.
