What has God's grace opened and made accessible to every human being?
God's unmerited favor has opened the windows of heaven, making His grace accessible to every human being, anywhere and everywhere. Yet there must be a door of access, and that door is faith. By faith everything becomes a reality, and believers have access into this grace wherein they stand.
Les explains that God's unmerited favor opened the windows of heaven and made it accessible to every human being, anywhere and everywhere. But there has to be a door of access, and that door is faith. He reminds us from Romans that the moment we believed, God sanctified us, forgave us, justified us, glorified us, and baptized us into the body. We did not feel or see these things happen, but we know they happened because the book says so, and that is faith. By faith everything becomes a reality. So we have access into this grace wherein we stand and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. Yet this does not mean a rose-petaled pathway; we are still in this old world, in a body of flesh, living in a time of trials and tribulations. God does not remove us from that but promises to see us through, escort us, and never forsake us. There is also the potential of persecution coming on believers, even in America, as the world grows adamant and aggressive.
