Simple Grace Radio
Simple Grace Radio exists to share Christ's glorious grace for a transformed life. We pray that God will powerfully work by connecting the realities of the Good News in Christ to the everyday patterns of our life. We are confident because the Bible says real transformation comes from hearing this Good News, "I am not ashamed of the Gospel [Good News]," Paul writes in Romans 1:16 "for it is the power of God unto salvation." The Gospel shows us how serious the consequences of our sin are: Jesus had to die a painful death on a cross to bear our sin. It's not enough, therefore, to live a basically good and moral life. Everybody needs forgiveness and salvation offered only in Jesus. Come to him to find life, peace and lasting joy.

Our text this morning is filled with big, theological words but its message is fairly simple – the primary agent in our Christian life is God, not us. God is the painter; we are the canvas. Or, as Paul will say in chapter 9, God is the potter - we are the clay. Consequently, the foundational story of our Christian life isn’t about what we believe or what we accomplish – but what God has purposed and accomplished for us. We need to learn to see ourselves from this Divine perspective. To see ourselves primarily as a gracious work of God’s hand.
