"The Workings Of Grace" by Pastor H. Lamar Smith
I heard Dr. A. B. Mackey, President of Trevecca Nazarene College, say, “Some people are sweeter by nature than others are by grace.” We all laughed, because it was a true-to-life kind of statement. We had seen non-professing Christians outside the church who were sweeter than some inside the church. However, what we have to remember is that persons outside the church have grace at work in their lives also. Prevenient grace is at work, to some degree, in all persons. The Holy Spirit, the Hidden Christ, is seeking to draw all to Himself. He wants all to fully turn toward Him. Grace is God in the world drawing all men and women to Himself. Be an ambassador of grace by letting it make you better and sweeter.
“Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all.…so that, just as sin exercised dominion in death, so grace might also exercise dominion through justification leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 5:18, 21 (NRSV))
