As Regards Grace?

[blossom]

Are all people given the same amount of grace?
Do sinners get more than believers (saints)?
Does grace ever get withdrawn from those who ignore it's Giver?

Hiya Blossom. Thanks for your question.

It's an interesting one. First off, I'd say God doesn't show favoritism. Why would I say that? Well, it's a simple reason. Romans 2 says he doesn't.

I think it would depend though on what grace is. Everyone can come to salvation. Some have more information than others, but how God judges those who've never heard I just leave up to him. In the end, I will simply say God does what is right.

There are also two kinds of grace. Prevenient grace is given to all. Paul said to those in Lystra that he sends rain at harvest time. This is the grace that we are even allowed to live while we are sinners opposed to God.

Forgiveness is not this. Not all receive forgiveness. Do sinners get more forgiveness than saints? No. Those who are unrepentant get none. Those who have repented get all the grace God abounds on them.

Can some lose grace? I believe it could be possible, if you mean forgiveness, but I think it would be very hard. I would recommend at this point "Four Views on Eternal Security."

Hope this helps!
