Holy by Nature (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798224393190)

YOU'RE ALREADY THERE, SO STOP STRIVING!

Are you weary and discouraged from failed attempts at being a "good Christian" and living a righteous life? Do you truly love God, but feel hopeless to overcome habitual sin or destructive thought patterns and walk in victory? Are you desperate to bridge the gap between the model set forth in Scripture and your experience as a follower of Jesus? If so, this book is for you! There is a widely accepted belief within mainstream Christianity that even after coming to faith in Christ, believers are still "sinners" who sin "all the time," and are bound to struggle with overcoming sin and temptation "this side of glory." This perspective comes in a variety of flavors, and here are just a few this book addresses:

- "Christians are just 'sinners' saved by grace!"

- "Because we are only human, we can't help but sin, and until we leave this earth, we'll always be fighting to overcome the evil desires of our sinful nature."

- "We 'miss the mark' all the time; we're likely sinning right now but just don't know it."

- "Sin no longer has dominion over us as Christians, but we're 'sinners' like everyone else. The difference is that our sins are covered by the blood of Christ."

- "The closer we draw near to God, the more we see how corrupt and depraved we are."

- "If the Apostle Paul said HE struggled with sin, you know WE will too!"

This book will help you learn how such beliefs are not only unbiblical, but holding you back from walking in your true identity in Christ. You will also learn the biblical meaning of "repentance" and how religion has made it so difficult! This book also addresses the power of your beliefs about God and yourself, how the natural and spiritual work together to create your state of being, the difference between living under Law and Grace, how to enter into God's rest, and how an "illegal" use of God's Law leads to frustration, condemnation, and defeat (or pride and self-righteousness). If you are hungry and desperate to live out your true identity and inheritance in the Lord, this book will richly bless you and help you do just that - without striving, toiling, and feeling burned-out and helpless!
