What is the most perfect picture of God's grace in Scripture?
The most perfect picture of God's grace in Scripture is the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus. Saul of Tarsus was a religious zealot who hated Jesus, persecuted believers, imprisoned many, and voted to put them to death, yet grace reached him.
Les explains that grace is that attribute of God whereby He, in His love and mercy, pours out on the sons of Adam the opportunity for eternal life if they will just believe. He points to the Apostle Paul on the road to Damascus as probably the most perfect picture of the grace of God in all of Scripture. Saul of Tarsus was a religious zealot, but contrary to God. He literally hated the name Jesus of Nazareth because he thought it opposed his religion, and he persecuted those who had put their faith in Jesus. He had committed many of them to prison and had even voted to have many put to death. Les notes there are other pictures, but he considers this the most important, illustrating being justified freely by His grace.
