but they can only reap the benefits of it if they ACCEPT it.

So, God's grace is limited?

"So, God's grace is limited?"

Only by man. God gave us a free will. So we can either choose God or reject Him. I don't understand how this is so hard to understand. God's grace is available to all, but only those who ACCEPT it will reap the benefits. God said here is my Son. He is the perfect sacrifice for your sins. Do you accept it? If not, you will be judged by the Law and be found guilty and without excuse. If you accept Him, then the Blood of Jesus Christ covers your sins and you are seen as rigtheous in the eyes of God. God is a Holy God and he cannot accept sin. The issue of sin must be taken care of. It is taken care of once and for all on the Cross. So you can choose to have Jesus as your sacrifice or choose to earn righteousness through our own means. I choose Christ.

Dang skippy! You don't accept salvation, you don't got salvation. If you want to call that limiting grace, then it's dang sure limited - and By God - not man.
