Part 3: Grace - God's Heart for the Refugee
Sep 13, 2024 • Pastor Ben Johnson
Part 3: God’s Heart of Grace explores the concept of grace as God’s undeserved favor and love, often expressed through the Hebrew word "hesed." This divine grace is characterized by loyal, sacrificial love that surpasses human standards and expectations. It emphasizes that God’s grace is unearned and reflects His generous heart, exemplified through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.
Key biblical passages such as Ezekiel 47:22 and Romans 5:8 illustrate how God’s grace calls for equality, justice, and love toward others, including refugees, widows, and the vulnerable. Christians are reminded that their identity as a chosen people, saved by grace, obliges them to embody God’s grace in their relationships and communities.
