Download or read book A Sinner s Guide to Holiness Learning to Live with a Gracious God written by Joshua Nickel and published by . This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 113 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lot of Christians don't like to be called sinners or to think of themselves as sinners. I can understand this. They have good reasons. There's nothing helpful about defeatism. But a lot depends on how you define the word sinner. In this book, I define a sinner as someone who has sinned in the past, who knows how to sin, and could sin in the future. That's it. No condemnation and no expectation of future defeat. This is a book about victory over sin. That victory, however, comes with a realistic understanding of what you're capable of. Victory won't happen if you pretend to be someone your not. Victory can happen, though, no matter what the sin is. The freedom of holiness is available in abundance to every Christian. That's what this book is about. What Does It Mean to Be Married to Jesus?Romans 7 tells us that believers have been married to Jesus Christ. This is where we will begin, with a close look at the marriage metaphor that Paul uses in Romans 7:1-6. We will also look at the beginning of Romans 8, where we are told that the law of the Spirit of life in Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death. Before we do that, however, we will look at the Old Testament book of Esther. There is a lesson there that will help us understand Paul's language about the flesh and the Spirit, especially as he uses it in Romans 8. The Work that Was Finished for You and the Work that Continues Within YouWe are not perfect in the way that Jesus was perfect when He walked this earth. We are not as much like Jesus as we could be. We all have room to grow. The good news is that where there is room to grow, God gives the power to grow. This growth comes from paying attention to Jesus, and to the perfect, finished work that He accomplished for us. We get better at living a holy life as we receive the gift of grace that comes through Jesus. As we walk in that grace, we learn that "getting better" is really a matter of dying and living again.

Book excerpt: The author of Desiring God reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Includes a study guide for individual and small-group use. Isn’t it true—we really don’t know someone until we understand what makes that person happy? And so it is with God! What does bring delight to the happiest Being in the universe? John Piper writes, that it’s only when we know what makes God glad that we’ll know the greatness of His glory. Therefore, we must comprehend “the pleasures of God.” Unlike so much of what is written today, this is not a book about us. It is about the One we were made for—God Himself. In this theological masterpiece—chosen by World Magazine as one of the 20th Century’s top 100 books, John Piper reveals the biblical evidence to help us see and savor what the pleasures of God show us about Him. Then we will be able to drink deeply—and satisfyingly—from the only well that offers living water. What followers of Jesus need now, more than anything else, is to know and love—behold and embrace—the great, glorious, sovereign, happy God of the Bible. “This is a unique and precious book that everybody should read more than once.” —J.I. PACKER, Regent College, Vancouver, British Columbia

As darkness lingers and color drains from your world, you’re left wondering if God has abandoned you. You just want a way out. But there’s hope. In I Love Jesus, But I Want to Die, Sarah J.
