Many people think that they could never be people of faith, never be a Christian, because they are not that sort of person. On the other hand, of course they believe in things like: freedom, kindness, progress and equality. But where did these values come from?

Imagine someone you greatly respected gave you responsibility for something beautiful and precious that they had painstakingly crafted themselves. You’d make every effort to look after it, protect it and care for it, wouldn’t you? What if this someone was God himself? Paul describes what this looks like for us and how we can work together to maintain what God values most.

Paul continues to paint his masterpiece of salvation with a dramatic 'before' and 'after' image of the change that takes place when someone becomes a Christian. We discover how this radical change takes place, what our new position is, and why God decides to save us.
