How accessible is God's grace?

Les explains that God's unmerited favor opened the windows of heaven, making grace accessible to every human being, anywhere, everywhere. But there must be a door of access, and that door is faith. He recalls earlier Romans lessons: at the moment of belief, God sanctified, forgave, justified, glorified, and baptized believers into the body, yet these realities were not felt or seen; they are known because the book says so, and that is faith. By faith everything becomes a reality. Les also cautions that believers are not promised a rose-petaled pathway or a Garden of Eden; they remain in the old world, in a body of flesh, in a time of trials and tribulations. God does not remove them from that but promises to see them through, escorting them through valleys and never forsaking them.
