Grace is absent from all the great heathen religions Brahmanism, Buddhism, Mohammedanism, Confucianism, Zoroastrianism. In the third place, grace, then, is the very opposite of justice.
Justice shows no favor and knows no mercy.
Grace is the reverse of this. Now the Gospel is a revelation of this wondrous grace of God. Christ has fully and perfectly met all the requirements of God s holiness so that He can righteously receive every poor sinner who comes to Him. The Gospel Is a Proclamation of the Grace of God. In its narrower sense, it refers to heralding the glorious fact that the grace of God has provided a Savior for every poor sinner who feels his need, and by faith receives Him.
