Hatfield Christian Church

At the heart of the Gospel is this truth: salvation is far more about what God has done than anything we could ever do for ourselves. From Ephesians 2, Neil Bester helps us reflect on the powerful contrast between who we were apart from God and what God has done for us through Christ. Scripture reminds us that salvation is not something we earn – it is a gift flowing from God’s mercy, kindness, and love. Our response is faith. Yet the story doesn’t end there. We are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus for good works that He has prepared in advance for us to do. We are not saved by works, but we are saved to them. This message invites you to respond to God’s grace with faith – whether for the first time or afresh – and to consider how you are living out the purpose God has placed before you as someone who follows Jesus.
