Series: Rooted in Christ – Jesus Christ, Our Ultimate Solution
Scripture Focus: Romans 1:16–17
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes… For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, ‘The just shall live by faith.’”
— Romans 1:16–17Scripture Focus:
Romans 1:16–17
The Gospel of Grace is the good news that salvation is a free gift from God, made available through Jesus Christ, and received by faith—not by our own efforts or good works. At its core, the Gospel of Grace declares that we are saved not because of what we do, but because of what Jesus has already done.
Romans 3:23–24 tells us, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and all are justified freely by His grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.” This means that every person needs God’s grace, and God willingly gives it through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son.
Grace doesn’t ignore sin— He overcomes it. Through the cross, Jesus paid the price for our sins so that we could be forgiven, restored, and made right with God. This is why Paul boldly declared in Romans 1:16–17, “I am not ashamed of the gospel… For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith.”
To believe the Gospel of Grace is to rest in what Christ has done and to stop striving to earn God’s approval. It sets us free from shame, guilt, and performance-based religion and invites us into a relationship with God as His beloved sons and daughters.
🔍 Have You Truly Received Grace?
Let’s pause and get honest.
We say we believe in grace, but so many of us still live like we have to earn it.
Grace is the heart of the gospel. It’s the breathtaking truth that Jesus came to do what we could never do for ourselves. And yet, many Christians live stuck in performance-driven faith, constantly striving, always wondering if they’re “good enough” for God.
This week, we start with the foundational truth of our discipleship journey:
You are saved by grace, not by your performance.
You are loved, not because you did everything right, but because Jesus already did it all.

🪴 Let’s Grow Together
As you work through the worksheets and carry the devotional cards with you, remember:
You are not what you’ve done.
You are who Jesus says you are—loved, redeemed, and covered by grace.
This is just the beginning of your journey to being Rooted in Christ.
Don’t rush it. Soak in it. Let grace take root in every area of your heart.
