Here is "Grace" in action. When there was no body desiring to know God. When there was no body who understood. When there was no body seeking after God, the Lord himself looked beyond mans deficiencies, and did something for man while he was in his darkness.
Rom 3:10 As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one:
Rom 3:11 There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.
Rom 3:12 They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.
The Lord "revealed" himself to man who did not want him, or understand anything about God or his ways, because he was in total darkness. If it was not for God "revealing" himself to man first, man would not have a way of choosing between light or darkness, life or death. This is "Grace". We love him because he first loved us.
Tit 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
