An Invitation to Reason

God's call to "reason together" is not a negotiation between equals. Commentators describe it as an invitation to the "throne of grace," not the "bar of justice." God, as the righteous judge, confidently presents His own gracious terms for pardon, appealing to us to accept an offer that is based entirely on His mercy, not our merit.
