Understanding the Dual Pillars of Grace and Repentance in Christianity (01/21/'24)

Understanding the Dual Pillars of Grace and Repentance in Christianity The core message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ encompasses both repentance and grace. Heaven is designated for the redemption of sinners, whereas hell serves as a catalyst for personal transformation. Often, the significance of grace is either highlighted or excessively emphasized, overshadowing the crucial role of repentance. Conversely, neglecting the essence of grace and focusing solely on repentance can lead the Gospel astray from its fundamental teachings. This imbalance can create a perpetual conflict between good and evil, causing ongoing distress regardless of the message's inherent beauty. "May the grace of the Lord Jesus be with everyone" (Revelation 22:21). -Pastor Steven G. Lee (January 21, 2024)
