Romans 5:20-21: Grace over Law

In this episode, Ross O’Hair and Beau Brezina dive into the powerful truth that when sin increases because of the law, God's grace becomes even more abundant. They explore how the law exposes our need for grace, and how through Jesus, we are empowered to reign in life—not by striving to meet impossible standards, but by resting in the righteousness God freely gives. If you're feeling weighed down by guilt, shame, or the pressure to "measure up," this conversation will show you how to step off the exhausting treadmill of self-effort and embrace the freedom that comes through God's unearned favor in Christ. Listen in and discover the life-changing power of grace!
