For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV)
Today's (22-Feb-2019) Toto jackpot is about SGD 13.6 million. There may be a lucky winner. Will the lucky winner reject the prize by saying this, "What about the other people? What about those who are not in Singapore to be given a chance to win the prize? How can Toto be so unfair that I am the only winner?" I don't think so.
Yet there are so many people, when I told them about Jesus being the only way to be saved, they responded like this, "What about those who has never heard?" What has that got to do with you? You heard. You are the lucky winner! Are you going to reject the good news of Jesus Christ because of those who have not heard?
We are saved by luck. We are lucky to be saved. It is just like striking lottery. Only it is far, far better. We do not get riches where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal and we leave behind when we die. We get eternal life with God.
"The LORD did not set His love on you nor choose you because you were more in number than any of the peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples, but because the LORD loved you and kept the oath which He swore to your forefathers, the LORD brought you out by a mighty hand and redeemed you from the house of slavery, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt. (Deuteronomy 7:7-8 NASB)
