God’s grace not only saves us but also shapes us into His holy people, impacting every area of our lives. In Colossians, we see how being united with Christ means letting His holiness guide our everyday lives (Be holy as I am holy), reflecting His character, and allowing His transformative grace to change our relationships, values, and actions. By embracing our identity in Christ, we become wholly holy, embodying His grace in a world that desperately needs to see it. JESUS' supreme authority makes HIS sacrifice on the cross the ONLY grace that transforms people here and forever. Believing and receiving this grace allows us to live and display HIS grace in this world that so desperately needs it.
Being Transformed by Grace means that JESUS followers live for JESUS in all of our relationships. Loving GOD and loving others
