Standing In Grace

Pastor Cary Nelson delves into the concept of our spiritual standing in Christ and the importance of living out that standing in our daily walk. Drawing from various scriptures, including Romans 5 and Ephesians 1, Pastor Cary emphasizes that as believers, we stand before God in Christ—righteous, holy, and without blame. He explains that our standing is not based on our own merit but on the completed work of Jesus, and it is through Him that we are justified and have access to God’s grace.

Pastor Cary also touches on the critical importance of attitude in our spiritual journey, comparing it to the hunger and thirst for righteousness described in Matthew 5. He encourages the congregation to press into their relationship with God, reminding them that restoration and spiritual growth require active participation, not passive waiting. The sermon challenges believers to let their spiritual standing in Christ influence every aspect of their lives, ensuring that their faith is not just a belief but a lived reality.

The message concludes with a call to action for believers to align their daily walk with their standing in Christ, living out the grace, righteousness, and authority that come with being a child of God.
