Before and After

Summary

The sermon explores the profound spiritual transformation described in Ephesians 2 and John 5, emphasizing that believers have already passed from death to life through God's mercy and grace, not by their own works or faith. It highlights the timeless nature of the new birth, the covenant identity believers share with Christ, and the ongoing process of sanctification empowered by God's grace. The preacher warns against judging others' salvation and encourages living a life that reflects God's kindness and good works ordained for believers.
