Summary
Grace isn’t just a gift; it’s an invitation to live fully in God’s reality. In today’s episode, we’ll explore what happens when we receive grace at the level God is giving it—without hesitation, without limits, and without holding back.
Key Scriptures:
+ Romans 5:17-21. For if by the transgression of the one, death reigned through the one, much more those who receive the abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness will reign in life through the One, Jesus Christ…
+ 2 Corinthians 3:18. But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.
+ Deuteronomy 31:8. The Lord is the one who goes ahead of you; He will be with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.

| 1:48.6 | of Christ in us. We're on this amazing adventure of discovery of who we are in Christ and who he is |
| 1:57.7 | in us. It's the most fascinating lifestyle ever devised. It's a big territory because Jesus |
