Day 113. Does God give grace only to Christians? (2024)

Today is day 113 and we are on the Third Article of the Apostles' Creed. Today we are on the sixteenth line: “The Forgiveness of Sins”.

113. Does God give grace only to Christians?

No. God’s common grace can be seen in his provision for all people. “He makes his sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust” (Matthew 5:45). However, he shows his saving grace by granting salvation to those who place their faith in Christ. (Psalms 65:5–13; 145:8–9; Acts 14:15–17; Romans 5:1–11)

We will conclude today with The Collect for The Second to Last Sunday of Epiphany found on page 604 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
