This message dives into 1 Corinthians 15:10, where Paul declares, "By the grace of God, I am what I am." Far from being an excuse for passivity, this passage reveals how God’s grace empowers believers to live active, faithful lives for Jesus Christ. Grace transforms hearts, giving new desires to love and obey God. It strengthens us to endure hardships, proclaim the gospel, and persevere in our mission, even when faced with indifference or opposition. True understanding of grace compels us to joyfully spend ourselves for Christ, glorify God in our daily lives, and steward His gift with diligence and humility. Appreciate this content?
