Guest Speaker: Wade Johnston
The gospel changes everything, including ethics. For Christians, justification - that we are declared not guilty in God's sight by grace and through His gift of faith in Jesus - is the starting point of the ethical life. Justification turns us outside of our otherwise inwardly-turned selves. The result? We see our neighbor and serve him as a channel for God's love wherever God places us in life, in our vocations. In this way, God gives the world back to us as a gift and makes us gifts to our neighbor.
