Pastor Spence discusses the transformative concept of how faith in Christ changes our lives using a "Before and After" explanation from Romans 5:1-11. He emphasizes that true fulfillment and peace cannot be found in worldly desires or achievements but only in a relationship with Jesus, who provides justification and access to God's grace. The sermon encourages us to find our identity in Christ and to share our personal “before and after” testimonies with others.
