The meeting of Grace Christian Church. We meet in person and stream services every Sunday at 10:30 AM EST in Manalapan, New Jersey.
The "Finished Work of the Cross" refers to the spiritual truths from Christ’s death and resurrection, enabling believers to live in the New Covenant of Grace. Key points from Romans 6:15-23:
- Freed from Sin, Enslaved to God: Believers are no longer slaves to sin but to God’s righteousness, with God as their new source of obedience (Romans 6:18, 22).
- Presenting Ourselves to God: Choosing to offer ourselves to God leads to sanctification, aligning with Christ’s image (Romans 6:19, 22).
- Eternal Life in Christ: Eternal life is a present gift through faith in Christ, not earned by works or law (Romans 6:23).
Paul refutes the deception that law is needed to overcome sin, emphasizing Grace as the source for victorious Christian living. The devil tempts believers to work for what they already possess in Christ, but resting in the finished work empowers fruitful, transformed lives.
