Episode notes
Grace Requires Facing Our Sin
- Jesus accomplished on the cross what we could never do, becoming the curse that should have come to us.
- Realizing our sin's depth makes God's grace gripping and personal.
The Law Exposes, The Spirit Convicts
- The law's purpose is to expose our failure to love and obey God fully.
- Only when the Spirit convicts us personally does redemption become existentially real.
Examine Your Conviction
- Ask yourself whether you have truly been convicted of your sins before claiming Christ as Savior.
- If you haven't faced your sin, examine why you believe you need a Savior.

The wonder of God’s amazing grace doesn’t really grip us until we realize the depth of our sin. Study along with Truth For Life as Alistair Begg looks afresh at man’s desperate predicament and all that Jesus has accomplished for us—and why.
