“For
by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is
the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
Being
fair would mean that people with more money, more talent or more intelligence would
have to do more to earn salvation than those with fewer resources. It would also give those with greater
abilities an opportunity to boast about what they did to be saved.
God,
in His infinite wisdom is interested in equality. When we stand before God, we are all
equal. We are loved equally; we are
valued equally; and we are equally saved by grace.
What
does this mean for us? God gives no one
bragging rights; God gives everyone grace and a free ticket to paradise, just
for the asking.
