Apart from Christ, humanity is not merely wounded or struggling. We are spiritually dead. No amount of effort, morality, or good intentions can bring a dead heart to life. Yet God, rich in mercy and overflowing with love, stepped into our hopeless condition and did for us what we could never do for ourselves. Through the death and resurrection of Jesus, what was once dead is made alive, guilt is replaced with grace, and broken sinners become God’s masterpiece.
