An Offer You Can Refuse

The craziest trade in the history of the world is recorded in the Bible. It's an offer of God's grace that's made to everyone. God's grace is given in two ways. First, God's generic grace (common grace, general grace) is given to and received by everyone everywhere. But his specific grace, which offers salvation and righteousness through Jesus, while offered to everyone, is only received by some. It's offered as a trade, where Jesus would take all of our sin and failure and gift us his perfect righteousness and life in return. The only way to accept this trade is through faith in Jesus. Jesus came with an offer to make a trade that's not too late to accept! — But you can refuse it. What will you choose?

Scripture References: John 1:9-13, Isaiah 53:1-11
