Summary

Have you ever found yourself striving for perfection, thinking that your efforts will make you worthy of God’s love? In this episode of The Disciples Journal, we explore the powerful truth of justification—that we are saved by grace through faith, not by works. No amount of striving or perfection will earn us God’s approval because it has already been given through Jesus. We’ll break down what it means to be justified in Christ, understanding that our relationship with God is based on His love and grace, not our performance. You don’t have to work for God’s love, but rather live from it. Join me as we unpack how God declares us righteous through faith, freeing us from the impossible burden of perfection.
