Why is understanding fetching grace important for Christians?
Answered in 1 source
Fetching grace illustrates God's initiative in salvation, where He seeks and brings His people to Himself despite their unworthiness.
Understanding fetching grace is essential because it highlights God's active role in seeking out sinners and drawing them to Himself. In the context of Mephibosheth, who is called from a place of desolation to sit at the king's table, we see a poignant picture of how God engages in the work of salvation. Just as King David sent his servant to fetch Mephibosheth, God sends His Spirit to awaken the hearts of His chosen people, demonstrating His love and desire for relationship. This concept reassures Christians of their identity as saved individuals who have been drawn into fellowship with God purely by His grace and not by their merit.
