The Gift of Grace
In this powerful message, we explore the transformative gift of God's grace through Romans 5:17. We're reminded that grace isn't something we earn, but a gift freely given by God. The contrast between the first Adam, who brought death through sin, and the last Adam, Jesus Christ, who brings life, beautifully illustrates our journey from spiritual death to abundant life. We're encouraged to step away from the exhausting cycle of trying to earn God's favor and instead embrace our new identity as righteous children of God. This shift in perspective empowers us to face life's challenges with confidence, knowing we're protected by Christ's victory.
