Distinguishing Grace - Don Fortner

"Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD." Genesis 6:8

What sad consequences there are to sin! That horrible, heart-hatred of God, which resides in the hearts of each of Adam's sons and daughters--works havoc in the earth and will bring us all down to Hell in the end--unless God intervenes to save. The only hope there is for fallen, depraved, helpless sinners--is the omnipotent intervention of God's irresistible grace!

The whole world was lost. The whole world was corrupt. The whole of Adam's race was degenerate and walked in wickedness, provoking the wrath of God. But God, in great pity, mercy and compassion--showed Himself gracious to one man. "Noah found grace in the eyes of the Lord." God spared Noah. God saved Noah. Through him, God preserved His family, preserved our race and thus preserved His elect for all generations to come!

Blessed be His name, God does intervene to save! He does not have to save. No mortal will ever seek salvation from Him--until first he is sought by Him. But God has, in indescribable, infinite mercy, chosen to save a people for His own glory--and save them, He will!

"I have loved you, My people, with an everlasting love. With unfailing love I have drawn you to Myself!" Jeremiah 31:3
