About this episode
Pastor Roderick Webster discusses the depth of God's love and mercy towards sinners, emphasizing the transformative power of the phrase 'But God' in Ephesians 2:1-4.
Does God's love really reach the worst of sinners? In this Words From The Word daily devotion, Pastor Roderick Webster opens Ephesians 2:1-4 (KJV) and unpacks one of the most powerful turning points in all of Scripture — the words "But God." You might be asking yourself: Am I too far gone for God to forgive me? What is the difference between mercy and grace? Why would God love someone who has nothing good to offer Him? How do I know this salvation is real and lasting? In this message, Pastor Roderick Webster helps you see: - We were all spiritually dead in trespasses and sins before Christ - God is not just merciful — He is rich in mercy, with no limit and no measure - His love for us had nothing to do with our goodness and everything to do with His nature - Mercy removes the penalty we deserve; grace gives us what we do not deserve - The moment you trust Christ, your account is settled — long ago and forever No matter where you are today, those two words — But God — change everything.
