Les teaches from Titus 2:11 that the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared unto all men—past tense, already done. He emphasizes that Scripture does not lie. Through the working of the Holy Spirit, this grace has appeared to every human being in one way or another. Les explains that Romans 1 shows God speaks even to pagans and those who never heard the literal Word through the effect of nature; they should see the starry expanse and realize there is a Creator. Even though all have sinned, the way back to God has been made available for every human being.
