““The Bible is clear in its invitation to all people. Grace can be extended to all, and has nothing to do with our deserved fates. Chafer says it so eloquently: "Grace is neither treating a person as he deserves, nor treating a person better than he deserves. It is treating a person graciously without the slightest reference to his deserts." Thus, when we say we are “under grace” we are referring to being totally free. Jesus said, I am come that you might be free indeed.  Christians are free from the penalty of sin, and that is under grace.””
