Overview:

The grim reality of humanity’s sinful condition fills the opening chapters of Paul’s letter to the Romans. But the eighth chapter sounds a refrain of relief: “There is now no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus” (Rom 8:1).The gospel is good news because it says that freedom from sin isn’t earned. Rather, it is a gracious gift from God! Join Pastor Chuck Swindoll as he reveals that Christians have a choice—either to continue to yield to the sinful desires of the flesh or to experience true freedom through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Insight for Living Broadcast

I didn't know much about grace, so I decided to read The Grace Awakening. I have learned a lot about letting people be different than me and realizing that God's grace doesn't condemn me but rather forgives and covers me with His righteousness! I shouldn't be a perfectionist because I can never do everything perfectly. If I let God work through me though, I will be living a life pleasing to Him! —T. Z. from Oklahoma
