God never gave the devil a second chance. He never offered the fallen angels forgiveness either. But me, a descendant of the fallen Adam; me, a sinner who just can't stop transgressing; He chose to offer salvation to me.
He didn't need my adoration or thanksgiving. He didn't have to reveal Himself to me. He could have made me like an animal or a tree and delighted in me as I stood tall and majestic or wandered about grazing the plains. I would have had no understanding of Him and simply ceased to exist when life left me. But He gave me a soul made to last an eternity. And then He saved that soul. He chose to tell me who He was. He chose to have a relationship with me--the Creator with a creature. He opened my understanding, He showed me I'm a sinner and then he showed me His provision for me. He showed me His Christ.
Me--a wretched hell deserving sinner...given grace. I shall never understand it.
