Matthew 5:45b- “He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust.”
This week, I had an “ah-ha” moment—a sudden understanding of something I thought I knew about, but actually didn’t have a complete understanding.
The subject was Grace.
My experience has been that Grace means “God giving us something that we don’t deserve.” Hence, forgiveness of sins and life everlasting with Him. This grace is given to believers.
But there is another kind of grace at work in the world that God gives to believers and unbelievers alike.
It is called common grace.
It doesn’t get a person to heaven. But God takes pleasure in His creation and exercises the grace that makes the sun come up and sends rain on the just and unjust alike.
God tells us to pray for and bless our enemies. For me, common grace is His supreme example of this principle at work.
