Common Grace

Men are born sinners through Adam, Psalm 51:1, and the punishment for sin is death Rom 6:23. Common Grace is the time people spend on earth and away from Hell. Common grace is also the limited love and happiness men experience on earth. Now, let me say this, the love and happiness lost people experience is nowhere near as great as the love and happiness a Christian finds in Christ. Common Grace is experienced by both lost people and Christians, Hence the term Common Grace. Common Grace will not save anyone! The only way to be saved is through Jesus Christ. Some more examples of common Grace are great intellect and understanding, artistic, musical, and athletic abilities. Moral restraint is also an example of Common Grace. God by Common Grace keeps his hand on most people and stops them from being as evil as they could be. The only good people do come from God, from the missionary who gives up everything for their savior, to the boy who comes to church even though his family doesn’t. Another example of Common Grace is the beauty of the natural world. By the grace of God we get to experience the beauty of flowers, rivers, oceans, land forms, and outer space. God’s Common Grace is also evident in the different organizations, and governments he’s created. The Lord does this to help keep evil in check.
