No human being can please God by self-improvement.

“Convinced that no human being can please God by self-improvement, we believed in Jesus as The Messiah so we might be set right before God by trusting in The Messiah. Not by trying to be good, The Messiah, not trying to be good.”

 
Galatians 2: 16 (The Message)
 
How clearer can Paul be?
 
Why oh why oh why do people still teach we have to strive, struggle to be good? That living up to our righteousness is ‘hard work’ ?
 
It’s not hard work. 
 
It’s His righteousness, not ours.
 
It’s out of our hands.

Hey!

Hey there. I’m Steve Edwards. I’m an actor, a writer, a teacher and a preacher!

This site explores the meaning of St. Paul’s words ‘by grace we are saved’. I hope it helps you to understand that we are loved by God completely, purely, fully, regardless of our mistakes. He loves us not because of who we are, but because of who He is, and what He did for us on the cross. Amen!

Please explore the hundreds of articles on the different books of the bible, and how the bible reveals that our holiness is a gift from God, and doesn’t depend on us and our good works. Thank God for that!

You can also find me preaching about God’s amazing grace on Tik Tok @christianactor.
