Who deserves GRACE? Are these people in the pictures outside the bounds of grace and salvation or are they given the same FREE GRACE that someone else does? What makes someone in the bounds of grace? Is there a certain "goodness" that someone has to have? Or is grace just given- as an offering to everyone? What do you think?

Who Deserves Grace?

Well, this is the crazy thing about grace. But it's not about grace itself, but it's all about the One who extends the grace. I personally would have a very difficult time extending grace to any of these. But God extends the same grace to all mankind.
John 3:16 is a very point-blank example of God's grace. He loved the world so much that He sent His only Son, that WHOEVER BELIEVES IN HIM will not perish but have eternal life. "Whoever" includes all. No one is excluded from this opportunity. All are given the same opportunity. It cannot be earned.
2 Peter 3:9- God's desire is that ALL come to repentance. God's desire is that people turn to Him. His grace is extended to ALL, but sadly, many choose not to accept Him.
God never excludes people. God never takes His grace away. People remove themselves from God's grace by not accepting Him. However, God continues to extend it, in the midst of their rejection. But their continual rejection of His grace will ultimately lead to eternal separation from Him.
But no matter how bad you are or what terrible things you have done, God continues to extend His grace to you by putting breath in your lungs. Please accept Him.
