How does God's grace differ from human understanding of fairness?

The sermon explains that traditional views of fairness often equate to receiving what one earns or deserves. However, God's grace defies this expectation. Grace is not simply unmerited favor but also encompasses demerited favor; it is God’s act of taking those who have sinned against Him and adopting them as His children despite their guilt. This is beautifully illustrated in the gospel, where God does not rely on our merit for salvation but instead shows mercy and kindness to the undeserving, as highlighted in Ephesians 2:8-9, which states that we are saved by grace through faith and that not of ourselves, it is the gift of God.
