In this message, Rev. Dr. Brian Ebel explores Paul’s teaching that we are justified not by our own effort or religious performance, but by faith in Jesus Christ. Too often, we treat faith as if everything revolves around us—our goodness, our choices, or our spiritual effort. But the gospel reminds us that the story is not about us; it’s about what Christ has done. We were the ones in the ditch, unable to save ourselves, and grace came to us through Jesus. When we truly grasp that reality, grace humbles us, reshapes our hearts, and moves us to live differently. Grace changes everything—not because of what we do, but because of what Christ has already done.
