Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Certainly no one would deny that there is nothing but character that we can carry out of life with us. I suppose there is almost no Christian who would deny, if it were put to him, that the greatest possible attainment a man can make in this world is likeness to The Lord Jesus Christ. The glory of Christ is His character; and as often as we stand before Christ, and think of Him, and realize what He was, our heart goes out and reflects some of His character. And that reflection, that glory, is not any longer merely on the skin of the face; as Paul wishes us to recognize, it is a spiritual glory, it is wrought by the spirit of Christ upon our spirit, and it is we ourselves that are changed from glory to glory into the very image of the Lord.Our Christian faith would have us believe that our prospect of good in any future life will certainly vary with the resemblance of our character to that of Jesus Christ. We all admit that; but almost every one of us offers to himself some apology for not being like Christ, and has scarcely any clear reality of aiming to becoming like Him.One or two men in a century may become great saints; given a certain natural disposition and given exceptionally favouring circumstances, men may become saintly; but surely the ordinary run of men, men such as we know ourselves to be, with secular disposition and with many strong, vigorous passions-surely we can really not be expected to become like Christ, or, if it is expected of us, we know that it is impossible.The apostle Paul says you will infallibly become holy if you learn this easy lesson of carrying the Lord Jesus with you in your heart. He reveals to us the mode of becoming like Christ, and a mode, as we shall find, so simple and so infallible in its working that a man cannot understand it without renewing his hope that even he may one day become like Christ.

Download or read book The Crucified Life written by A.W. Tozer and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2011-09-09 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What Does it Mean to Be "Crucified With Christ?" During his lifetime, renowned teacher A.W. Tozer was often invited to speak at seminaries, churches, and Bible conferences on the topic of the cross and its meaning for the Christian life. Now, in this never-before-published distillation of his best teaching on the subject, you will gain a fresh understanding of the cross's centrality to your walk of faith in Christ. The apostle Paul declared in his letter to the Galatians that he had been "crucified with Christ." But what does this mean? Is this a claim every believer can and should make? The Crucified Life is a comprehensive examination of these questions, answered with the deep, biblical thinking for which Tozer was revered. "God is ingenious in developing crosses for His followers," Tozer was fond of saying. At the heart of this book, you will find a call to follow Christ to the cross and be raised to new life--a call to live the crucified life.

Book excerpt: Fear is one of the strongest human emotions, and it is one that often baffles Christians. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge." — Proverbs 1:7 Fear is one of the strongest human emotions—and one that often baffles Christians.

Download or read book Spirituality and the Awakening Self written by David G. PhD Benner and published by Baker Books. This book was released on 2012-02-01 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being human is a lifelong journey of becoming. This journey defines our humanity, for it is a journey toward our source and our fulfillment, described in Christian theology as union with God. If we remain open to God as our sense of self awakens, we experience a deeper consciousness of being in him. The self that emerges during this process is larger, more enlightened, and whole. David Benner, who has spent thirty-five years integrating psychology and spirituality, presents psychological insights in a readable fashion to offer readers a deeper understanding of the self and its spiritual development. Drawing on a broad range of Christian traditions, Benner shows that the transformation of self is foundational to Christian spirituality. This book will appeal to readers interested in a psychologically grounded, fresh exploration of Christian spirituality; professionals engaged in pastoral care, counseling, and spiritual direction; and students in ministry development and spiritual formation courses. Questions and answers for individual or group use are included at the end of each chapter.

Download or read book The Complete Christian Self Love Book written by Mike McArthur and published by . This book was released on 2021-01-14 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How To start to love yourself unconditionally I am absolutely sure that this book will help everyone to get to know yourself better and on a deeper level, improve your relationships, accept yourself and others, love your life and be happy while enjoying "peace of mind," get rid of fear and stress, find the meaning of your life, solve different problems, and, finally, find God within you. While reading this book you can find the answers to many of your questions because this book is based on the Bible, a universal book of life created by God and proven by billions of people of different nations for thousands of years. All the relationships including all the problems in the relationships were given to you by God to show you that you need to learn how to love yourself. That is the main purpose of life. The only thing that we learn in this life is to love. What is loving yourself? There is always a misconception about it, but loving yourself is a most important thing in your life and this book will prove it. I am sure many of us have read the Bible; but so, fewer people actually understood very famous quote Mark 12:31 "Love your neighbor as yourself." If you really spend some time thinking about this phrase, maybe sleep on it, what do you think this phrase is about? You should love yourself first. Always. You need to learn how to love yourself first, and only afterwards you could love your neighbor. Therefore, if you don't love yourself, it's not possible to love others. There is simply no such way. There is a common misconception nowadays that relationships are supposed to bring love to our life. When it doesn't happen, we become miserable. The truth is that, according to the Bible, romantic relationships are never the source of love. Remember: Love your neighbor as yourself. First, you love yourself and only then you could love your boyfriend or girlfriend. So, true source of love is within us! Nowadays people are looking for love in the relationships without having love in their soul and, of course, they fail to find it. Relationships are not a source of love, but a reflection of our soul and mind. Therefore, if we don't have a love in ourself, we are never going to find love in our relationships. And that is the word of Christ. You will see that money is creation of God Money always existed and will exist forever. Because money was created by God. During our life, we always interact with each other. Two things in this are always true: nothing is free, and nothing goes unnoticed. If you go to the grocery store to buy some milk, you must pay some money. If money didn't exist, this simple transaction of buying milk would be very hard to solve. In that case you, would interact with many others like farmers who produced this milk, sellers who sell the milk, etc. You would need to do chores and help them in order to get some milk from them. How could you get a milk in this situation? That's why God created money as a universal solution where you can get what you need and keep going. You will learn how to accept yourself, forgive yourself, and be kind to yourself What are the concrete actions of loving yourself? The first and foremost is self- forgiveness. You need to forgive yourself for not matching that image of a perfect you. Because just having that image of a perfect you is a sign of self-hate. If you accept who you are, you are totally happy with who you are. Learn how to start to love yourself unconditionally.Scroll up and click the buy button now
