This is the grace-filled invitation of the gospel: regardless of where you come from, what you’ve carried, or how different your story may be, there is a place for you in the family of God. The gospel does not erase our differences, but it redeems them and brings them under the lordship of Christ for His glory. In Christ, strangers become siblings, enemies become family, and broken lives are woven together into one body called the church. This is the power of the gospel and it calls all of us to take our place among God’s people.
