“Deeper than the ocean / and wider than the sea / is the grace of the Savior / for
sinners like me. / Sent from the Father, / and it thrills my soul / Just to feel and to
know / That His blood makes me whole.”
-Jewell M. Whitey Gleason
God’s grace is truly a wonderful thing; I don’t know that words can adequately
express just how wonderful it really is. The world looks upon the concept of grace
and sees favoritism, as if they themselves never have preferences.
Grace stands starkly in the face of equality because, by its very nature, a gift given
to one is not given to another, and the idea of “gift” is at the heart of grace. Yet at
the same time, God’s gift is given freely to all who will accept it (John 3:16), and this
makes His gift wholly equal, and the rejection of that gift the provenance of the one
who would not receive it. Paul writes, “Therefore, as through one man’s offense
judgment came to all men, resulting in condemnation, even so through one Man’s
righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification of life” (Romans
5:18).
So God’s grace is given to all freely, but we must accept it by trusting in the
faithfulness of Christ Jesus. When I trust in Christ, I will give myself to Him and do
what He desires, not because I think that I can earn anything by doing it, but
because I have faith in His ability to save me. This is what makes salvation a gift
and not a pay-check, because at the end of the day, I must confess with Paul and
Jeremiah, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:31, Jeremiah
9:24).
