Grace in the Old Testament

Judges Chapter 6 is the perfect example of the grace of God. This story is a great picture of God's unmerited favor upon man. The favor that the Lord gave to Gideon, as with Moses and Abraham before him, had absolutely nothing to do with Gideon. God didn't choose Gideon because of his brain, his heritage, his upbringing, or his military expertise. God chose Gideon because God chose Gideon. God's grace is the same today. God chooses us, not based on anything we have done, but because of what He has done.
