Welcome to this weekend's In Touch podcast with Tarl Stanley.

God's grace is deeper and wider than we could ever imagine.

Let's continue to learn the truth about grace that is able to save anyone from the wrath of God.

Why is it that so many people who've trusted Jesus Christ as their Savior

spend their entire Christian life struggling and feeling defeated in our Christian life?

Well, probably one of the reasons is they don't understand what happened when they were saved.

In fact, if you were to ask them what is a Christian and how do you become one?

Many people who claim to be one couldn't even answer that question adequately,

even to their own sense of satisfaction.

Because somewhere along the way, even though they trusted Christ as their Savior,

nobody sat down and explained to them exactly, here's what took place,

here's what you can expect. Now, this is the way you can live according to God's word and the promises of His Word.

And so as a result of that, they live their life struggling, trying to figure out am I doing the right thing,

am I doing the wrong thing, am I pleasing God, am I not pleasing God, am I saved, am I still saved, am I not saved?

And so all kinds of confusion and all kinds of things we hear about people struggling with their Christian life

because somewhere along the way, they never understood what it was all about.

So I want you to turn to Ephesians chapter 2, if you will.

And let's read those first 10 verses, and you may be a Christian this morning, and I certainly hope you are.

But I want you to listen carefully because I want to ask you the question.

If somebody said to you, what is a Christian, could you give them a clear definition?

And secondly, if they said, what is salvation, could you answer that?

If they ask you, what is the grace of God all about? Could you answer that question?
