What is grace? Grace is the opposite of human effort. Grace affirms what Scripture declares that we are undeserving hell-bound rebels, dead in our transgressions and sins, under God’s perfectly just wrath for our rebellion against Him. But while we were dead, while we were in active revolt against Him, God chose to make us alive, forgive our sins and grant us unimaginable and undeserved riches in Christ. That’s grace! Grace is God giving us what we did not deserve.

PRO 1:24 Because I have called, and ye refused; I have stretched out my hand, and no man regarded;

PRO 1:25 But ye have set at nought all my counsel, and would none of my reproof:

PRO 1:26 I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when your fear cometh;

PRO 1:27 When your fear cometh as desolation, and your destruction cometh as a whirlwind; when distress and anguish cometh upon you.

PRO 1:28 Then shall they call upon me, but I will not answer; they shall seek me early, but they shall not find me:

PRO 1:29 For that they hated knowledge, and did not choose the fear of the LORD:

PRO 1:30 They would none of my counsel: they despised all my reproof.

PRO 1:31 Therefore shall they eat of the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own devices.

PRO 1:32 For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them.

PRO 1:33 But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

JER 8:20 The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

EZE 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.

HOS 5:6 They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find him; he hath withdrawn himself from them.

MAT 10:14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.

MAT 10:15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.

MAT 11:20 Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not:

MAT 11:21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes.

MAT 11:22 But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you.

MAT 11:23 And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day.

MAT 11:24 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

MAT 23:34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:

MAT 23:35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.

MAT 23:36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.

MAT 23:37 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!

MAT 23:38 Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

MAT 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.

MAT 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.

MAT 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:

MAT 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.

MAT 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.

MAT 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.

MAT 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.

MAT 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

MAT 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.

MAT 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

MAT 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.

MAT 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.

MAT 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

MAT 25:14 For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods.

MAT 25:15 And unto one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one; to every man according to his several ability; and straightway took his journey.

MAT 25:16 Then he that had received the five talents went and traded with the same, and made them other five talents.

MAT 25:17 And likewise he that had received two, he also gained other two.

MAT 25:18 But he that had received one went and digged in the earth, and hid his lord’s money.

MAT 25:19 After a long time the lord of those servants cometh, and reckoneth with them.

MAT 25:20 And so he that had received five talents came and brought other five talents, saying, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five talents: behold, I have gained beside them five talents more.

MAT 25:21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou good and faithful servant: thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

MAT 25:22 He also that had received two talents came and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me two talents: behold, I have gained two other talents beside them.

MAT 25:23 His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.

MAT 25:24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:

MAT 25:25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.

MAT 25:26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:

MAT 25:27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.

MAT 25:28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.

MAT 25:29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.

MAT 25:30 And cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

MAT 25:31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:

MAT 25:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:

MAT 25:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

MAT 25:34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world:

MAT 25:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:

MAT 25:36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

MAT 25:37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?

MAT 25:38 When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?

MAT 25:39 Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

MAT 25:40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

MAT 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

MAT 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

MAT 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

MAT 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

MAT 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.

MAT 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

LUK 12:47 And that servant, which knew his lord’s will, and prepared not himself, neither did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes.

LUK 13:25 When once the master of the house is risen up, and hath shut to the door, and ye begin to stand without, and to knock at the door, saying, Lord, Lord, open unto us; and he shall answer and say unto you, I know you not whence ye are:

LUK 13:26 Then shall ye begin to say, We have eaten and drunk in thy presence, and thou hast taught in our streets.

LUK 13:27 But he shall say, I tell you, I know you not whence ye are; depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity.

LUK 13:28 There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, and you yourselves thrust out.

LUK 14:16 Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many:

LUK 14:17 And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready.

LUK 14:18 And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused.

LUK 14:19 And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

LUK 14:20 And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.

LUK 14:21 So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind.

LUK 14:22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room.

LUK 14:23 And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.

LUK 14:24 For I say unto you, That none of those men which were bidden shall taste of my supper.
