Every one of us begins life disconnected from God and spiritually dead.
Through Jesus’ sacrificial death on the cross taking on the sins of humanity, we can be forgiven and made right with God. The Spirit of God comes to live within us and makes us alive in Christ!
Paul explains how this happens:
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:8-10 NIV
We are God’s masterpiece created to do good works.
Remarkably, Jesus removed the barriers between Jews and Gentiles bringing us together into one multiethnic family.
