Growing in Grace: Week 3 (Hernando)

Intending to be humble and understand our need for God, many Christians live by the phrase, “I am JUST a sinner saved by grace.” While that is true, we are so much more because of what Jesus has done for us and in us. Grace forgives us from the guilt of our sin, but it also FREES us from the weight and hold of our sin. When we are in Christ by faith, we are no longer victims or captives to the power of sin. We are set free from its hold. While we will experience temptation, we do not have to give in to that temptation. We can live in the freedom of Christ—both free from an expectation to have perfect obedience to the law of Moses AND freedom to live in the power of Christ moving forward.
