Summary

Most Christians believe in grace, but still live like everything depends on them. In this teaching through Ephesians 2, we walk step by step through what it actually means to be made alive by God, not improved, not fixed up, resurrected. We expose why shame driven effort keeps believers stuck, how grace reshapes identity before behavior, and why salvation was never meant to end with forgiveness alone.
