Mary's response to The angel Gabriel who announced God's plan bring the Messiah into the world through her, mirrors how we should respond to God's offer of salvation. God takes the initiative to bring us good news. While our part is to put our faith in God's promise. It is an active decision to receive Jesus into our heart and a passive response in that we do nothing to earn this favor.
