It's Free for All.....

Titus 2:11 KJV:
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men...

These are sobering times and sobering words that must provoke sobering thoughts. We are in a season of strange events and even stranger behaviours. We live in uncertain times, without any idea of what the next moment, minute, hour, day or week will bring. The ONE thing, however, that will certainly and assuredly happen is that this world, as we know it,  will cease to exist one day. This is as certain as night follows day and vice versa. God has promised us that what we see now will be destroyed by fire, to be replaced by what he has promised- new heavens and a new earth. If you can point to just ONE of the promises of God that has failed, you can doubt this one too, but if there's no evidence of a failed promise by God, then you can bet your eternity on this- Jesus will one day return.
Today's passage buttresses this truth- God's grace has been revealed and is available to all men, irrespective of location, past, history or background. All these things do not bother God; what you do with the knowledge of his grace is the key factor to your eternity. If after the grace is revealed, and there is no response or acceptance, then the punishment is inevitable.
God always gives a choice, and that is itself the power to choose. His gift of grace is a blank cheque and has been drawn to all men, but it is only those who fill in their names and accept the unconditional grace that will benefit. I know that excuses will not hold water on that day, because daily, God reveals his grace of salvation for as many as are alive now. Choose to receive that grace today, tomorrow is out of your hands. Now is the acceptable day, today is the day of salvation. His time of favour is here.
