It’s only because of the good grace & benevolence of God that we are made right before Him. It’s only His tender regard for our misery & the consequences of sin that God made a way possible to alleviate our plight and enable us to receive new birth. This new birth shining forth … exhibited in the person of Christ, Who is the very embodiment of God’s lovingkindness towards us and the foundation of our salvation. (Ephesians 2:7) And the Good News is, this unmerited favor & compassion of God’s has appeared to all men. (Titus 2:11) But this gracious gift must be understood as a gift & has nothing to do with our own works…for we are totally dependent on it, and not the other way around.
