Just a cut to the chase.
Today's episode is all about re-enchanting grace, putting the spiritual power back into the word.
We often think about the word forgiveness, salvation, but that's not how Paul uses it, he uses it as a spiritual force that is connected to Jesus Christ.
It's a fun episode.
Stay tuned.
But before we jump into the episode, as we do every week, we want to take a moment and just encourage ourselves, we want to strengthen our faith.
Let's look to Christ together.
When scripture speaks of grace, it speaks of something living and active.
Grace is not only God's kindness towards sinners, it is God giving Himself to his people.
Grace is not confined to the past.
It is a present help, a present strength, present supply.
Grace is the way Christ stays with weak people.
It is his power meeting where we cannot stand on our own.
It is his sufficiency when obedience feels fragile and endurance feels thin.
Grace is not an idea to be understood, it is a reality to be received.
In the Bible, grace is spoken of as something that works, strengthens, and trains, it fortifies the heart.
It carries the soul.
It holds the believer steady when everything else gives way.
Grace lives in Him, it flows from Him, and it remains with those who depend on him.
Grace has not faded, it has not weakened, it has not moved.
