The Apostle Paul doesn't ease into it. He says: spiritually, you were dead. Not struggling. Not almost there. Dead. Influenced by a culture you've stopped noticing. Pulled in directions you didn't choose.\nAnd then comes the turn that changes everything: But God.\nNot \"but try harder.\" Not \"but be better.\" But God — who is rich in mercy, and who loves you with a love that started before the world was made — stepped in.\nWe also look at what it means to be God's handiwork — a word that carries the weight of a poem, something crafted on purpose, placed exactly where you are for a reason. That's not just a nice thought. It means there are doors only you can open, people only you can reach, and a life only you can live.\nWhether you've been in church your whole life or you're not even sure you believe — this one's worth your time.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/SmcptMfUFUmVjlIkwETl_QbE0AQZxjIqZhbOZpkgiGc/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hODE2/Zjg0OTNkMGE3YmY5/MGM3ZDQxMzQxOWQ2/YzNkYS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
