Can God’s grace really change a person?
In Philemon 8–17, we see the transforming power of redeeming grace through the story of Onesimus—a man who was once considered “useless,” but through Christ became useful, faithful, and changed. Paul’s appeal to Philemon shows that grace not only changes who we are; it changes how we respond to others.
This message challenges us to consider two questions: Where is God’s grace changing me, and how should the grace I have received shape the grace I give to others? Real grace makes us different people who treat people differently because of Christ.
