Knowing God apart from Jesus is terrifying. In this reflection, we explore why true communion with God is only found through Christ and why John Newton’s letters still matter today.

We all want to be seen as righteous, but trying to earn it is exhausting. Romans 8 shows us that true righteousness is not achieved by effort, but received as a gift through Jesus Christ.
