Living on Credit
About this series
We all need forgiveness. There’s no question about that. The question is: How can God forgive us and still be righteous and just? After convincingly arguing that we all need God’s grace, the Apostle Paul now explains how God pours out his grace on us without undermining his righteousness and justice. It’s amazing! And it makes all the difference for those who believe. Join us as we marvel at God’s case for grace.
