Nerd In The Word: Building a House of Faith
Welcome back to Nerd in the Word! I’m Gretchen, and I’m here again with my good friend and fellow nerd, Kristin.
Today we’re stepping into our fourth pillar of faith in our Blueprints of Grace series — The Doorway of Grace. If you’ve been following along, we’ve been building a spiritual house: Christ is the cornerstone, God’s Word frames our life, and faith stands as the beams that hold us steady. But now, we reach the doorway — the point where we enter in.
Grace is that doorway. It’s the threshold between the old life we once lived and the new life we’ve been invited into through Jesus Christ. It’s where mercy meets transformation. Titus 3:3–7 paints this picture beautifully:
“For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray... But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit...”
Grace is what opens the door. Christ is the One who holds it wide. And by faith, we step through — leaving behind who we were, to become who we’re meant to be in Him.
So grab your Bible and your builder’s mindset — it’s time to explore the doorway of grace and what it really means to walk through it.
