In this episode, Pastor John S. Dickerson reflects on 2 Corinthians 5:18–19 and the breathtaking beauty of the gospel. Scripture holds together two powerful truths: we will give an account for our lives, and yet our salvation itself is entirely a gift of grace.

God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself—not counting our sins against us. We did not climb our way back to God. He came for us. Through Jesus’ death and resurrection, the books have been balanced. The debt has been paid.

If you have placed your faith in Christ, you are reconciled—made right with God. And now, you’ve been entrusted with the message of reconciliation to share with others. Grace received becomes grace proclaimed.
