God's grace wouldn't be grace if God was only kind to those who are going in his direction.
"But God commends his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us" (Rom 5:8).
God’s gift of grace is only of ‘value’ to those who know what it cost and how valuable it really is..
If I gave one $100 bill to a man who lived in a system where only bartering of goods was the norm, he has no concept of the value of that paper money.
He could accept it, reject outright or take it and then give it back after wondering if he can do anything with it ..maybe use it to wipe his hands or nose, who knows...
It could seem worthless to him..
Its value doesn’t change, and his potential rejection of it in ignorance, doesn’t affect the value of the gift.
The gift is priceless to those who accept it, worthless to those who reject it , and has been devalued and deemed ‘not worth it’ by the ones who first accept it, then hand it back..
