How Did We Get Here

In this profound exploration of grace, we're reminded of the transformative power of God's unmerited favor in our lives. The story of Ephraim serves as a cautionary tale, illustrating how easily we can forget our spiritual adoption and the grace that brought us into God's family. We're challenged to consider: Are we, like Ephraim, becoming entitled, bitter, or divisive? Or are we staying close to the cross, continually grateful for our adoption? This message urges us to refocus on God's grace, recognizing that our identity and purpose stem from His love, not our own efforts or failures. By keeping our eyes on the One who grafted us in, we avoid the pitfalls of pride and self-righteousness, instead living lives that reflect the kingdom and glorify the King.
