This weekend, Pastor Ed reminded us that the cross didn’t just forgive our past; it defines our present. Paul confronts Peter’s compromise, showing how fear can lead to failure and hypocrisy. He clarifies that we are justified by faith in Christ, not by works, and that true faith both exposes and erases our sin. When we surrender to Jesus, our old life is crucified with Him, and the life we now live is fueled by faith in the One who loved us and gave Himself for us. The gospel isn’t behavior modification — it’s heart transformation.
