Those six words - “but by the grace of God” - may be the most important words ever spoken or written. Without them, there is no hope for us. In this sermon, Paul Tripp examines how the grace of God radically transformed Saul to Paul, and how the resurrection grace of the gospel allows us to experience that same transformation in the here and now while we wait for our eternal life.

The theology of the Bible is never meant to be impersonal, abstract, or academic; it's meant to be life-giving and life-changing.
