In today's episode, Grant explores Paul's insights from Romans 5:1–8, exploring profound reality of suffering that accompanies every believer's journey in Christ. He emphasizes that suffering is not merely an obstacle but a divinely appointed opportunity for growth and sanctification. According to Paul, the trials and tribulations we face are orchestrated by God with a sovereign purpose: to mold us into the image of His Son and to demonstrate His glory through our lives. Grant highlights how these challenges, though often painful, are integral to our spiritual development and a testament to our faith in God's ultimate plan.

In today’s episode, Grant Castleberry reflects on the profound beauty of salvation, drawing from the Apostle Paul’s words in Romans 5:1–8. This key passage is a cornerstone of Christian doctrine and faith, diving deep into themes of justification, peace, suffering, and the overwhelming love of God.

The glorious words of John 15:12–16, where Jesus tells us to love one another, are a stark reminder that if we don’t love others, our faith is dead, and we do not know Christ. The true, legitimate test of being a disciple of Christ is to love the people of God. In other words, you can’t love Christ and not love His people. We are to be known by our love.
