Many reject Grace because it takes the spotlight off of them. Paul and Barnabas faced serious opposition when they preached salvation by Grace, because Grace is a ‘slap in the face’ to human effort. The Law of Moses put emphasis on man and unfortunately, many men have embraced the challenge of fulfilling the Law, to the point where they have convinced themselves that they are right and those who don’t live by the Law are wrong. These people are so focused on what they think they are doing for God that they can’t embrace what God had already did for them through Jesus. Those who embrace the Law think, “I am right and others are wrong.” Those who embrace Grace think, “We are ALL wrong and Jesus came to make us right.” Since this takes the emphasis off of man and our effort, many reject it because they would rather keep the spotlight on them. Grace puts the spotlight on Jesus.
