Chuck Smith emphasizes God's invitation to reason with Him, addressing those who feel unworthy of His grace due to their rebellion and sin. He highlights that this call is directed towards those who have known God's provision yet have strayed, comparing their actions to those of animals that recognize their source. Smith argues that faith in God is not blind but based on reason, citing the complexity of life and fulfilled prophecies as evidence of God's existence. He challenges listeners to consider the reasonableness of rejecting God's mercy and forgiveness, reminding them that no matter how deeply sin has permeated their lives, they can be made clean through God's grace.

Charles Finney emphasizes the importance of reasoning with God regarding our sins and the need for forgiveness. He explains that God, being a moral and good being, invites us to present our reasons for seeking mercy and sanctification. Finney outlines the necessity of acknowledging our sins, justifying God's actions, and pleading the merits of Christ's sacrifice as reasons for God to forgive and sanctify us. He encourages believers to approach God with confidence, presenting their case for mercy and transformation, while also recognizing the weight of their influence on others. Ultimately, Finney calls for a heartfelt plea to God, urging the necessity of divine intervention for both personal and communal salvation.
