Saying that my friends and I love to eat out is an understatement. We are the types who converse endlessly about food during a meal. We like trying new restaurant and save up to be able to pay for an out-ofothis-world gastronomic experience.
Now imagine yourself having to go through a menu where the most in expensive item is a glass of soda for 150 pesos. Ridiculous! But you scan through the menu anyway and still order the best-seller in the restaurant, closing your eyes and saying it's all worth it. Then at the end of the meal, when reality bites and you say, "Time to pay the bill," the waiter comes and says, "No charge, it's all been paid for." Forsure you'd be dumbfounded.
Grace is like a meal in a restaurant you eat in everyday where your tab is eternally paid for. God, through Jesus Christ, has eternally paid for our sins, which is why we are able to partake of His goodness.
