How God Grows Us

Wanting to do right can expose a painful split: sin remains close at hand even when God's law is known. The law is good, but sin uses it to expose guilt and deepen rebellion. Jesus does what human effort cannot do. He bears sin's punishment, gives His righteousness, and frees those in Him from condemnation and sin's rule. Growth may come suddenly, but it usually unfolds over time as the Spirit changes believers who keep choosing God and resting in Christ's finished victory.
