Have you been able to do everything God has commanded? Have you been able to love God perfectly? This week, Gary Wilkerson talks about how Christ's sacrifice and the Holy Spirit's power gives us the ability to do what was impossible in our own strength. The demands of God's law were met by Christ, and his purposes can be fulfilled in us through the Spirit. That's the power of the gospel! Isn't this good news?
Often as believers, we get caught up in trying to earn our way into God's good graces, but those efforts end in futility because we can never perfectly obey the law.

Our over-confident attempts to meet God's standards will always fail, but thankfully God has provided another way.
The law holds us to God's holy standard, but it cannot empower us to achieve that standard. This week, Gary Wilkerson talks about how the gospel offers us the way to meet God's perfect standards.

The Bible can be divided between the law and the gospel. This week, Gary Wilkerson explains how scripture filters through these two categories and why it's important to understand the difference.
