We are One

our We Are One series challenged us to embrace the unity God calls His church to live out. We began by setting a vision for church unity, recognizing that we are one body made up of many unique parts, each with a vital role in God’s Kingdom. We reflected on the sanctity of life, affirming the value of every person as created in God’s image. Finally, we concluded by focusing on our shared mission—to work together in spreading the gospel and making disciples. Unity is not just an ideal; it’s a calling that shapes how we love, serve, and fulfill God’s purpose. As we move forward, may we continue walking in unity, building one another up, and reflecting Christ’s love in all we do.

Day 5: Embracing the Gift of Grace
 
Through faith in Jesus Christ, believers are justified and cleansed from their sins. God’s grace is a free gift that wipes away the past and allows for a restored relationship with Him. This grace empowers believers to live a life that honors God and reflects His love to the world. Embracing God’s grace involves accepting His forgiveness and allowing it to transform one’s life, leading to a deeper relationship with Him and a greater capacity to extend grace to others.
 
“But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved.” (Ephesians 2:4-5, ESV)
 
Reflection: How can you embrace God’s grace more fully in your life today, and what impact might this have on your relationships with others?
