Saved By Grace, Not Effort

Today at New Life we examined The Power of Grace: Embracing God's Unconditional We live in a culture that measures value by performance, but the gospel tells a different story: we are saved by grace alone. This isn't something we earn — it's a gift freely given through Jesus Christ. The early church wrestled with this truth, but Peter made it clear: salvation isn’t about following rules, it’s about trusting in Christ.
Grace reminds us that God has always known and loved us, long before we could prove ourselves. When we truly grasp this, it changes everything. We live not to earn God's favor, but in response to His love.
This grace doesn’t lead to careless living — it leads to transformation. Through the Spirit, we grow in love, patience, and self-control. In a world quick to react, grace teaches us to respond with humility and kindness.
Let’s stop striving to earn what God has already given. Let’s receive His grace — and extend it to others.
