Portico Church

Paul says in I Cor 15 it's the gospel of grace that has made him who he now is and the way in which he lives. In other words everything that Paul does or accomplishes he credits to Jesus. God's grace is the source of everything good, meaningful & beautiful coming out of himself.

It confronts me with just how sinful I am but just how much God accepts me. While the gospel, truth, purging of sin, transformation, truth, God etc., are all things I think I only need to experience, I'm learning what it means to embody them.

As I learn to embody the gospel rather than encounter it, my understanding of it begins to grow.
