Product Description
Certain factors cloud our understanding of salvation-truth. We cling to personal factors in sin and unbelief. God shrouds truth and salvation ingredients until His greatest unpacking in the Cross. I label personal and biblical shrouding as haze factors or curtains. The back cover reads: Personal and biblical haze-curtains are opened in Finding God's Will in the Redeemed View of Life: Toward a Reformed Definition of Grace to expose God's Will for humanity in the Cross and Gospel of Christ. God wants us to know How to avoid the car wrecks of life; His Word, Will, Ways and Christ's mind; The Crux of Atonement from a Cross-view; His Grace that makes sinners into holy ones; The majesty of New Covenant truth; The Freedom of Law through Grace; and His power so we can glorify Him. Christian Faith suffers today. Nominal Christianity - professing Christ but living a practical pagan or atheist lifestyle - is the church's scourge. God's Word offers correctives to overcome this dilemma by exalting Christ's Gospel of Grace. Whether you are a seeker or believer who needs adjustment, these correctives push us to Image Christ. I don't want to kick the tires of the Church but seriously reflect on how we drive our faith. Are you up to the challenge? Finding God's Will is more about attitude and practice than a position. It's easy to wear someone else's faith. Many reject this second-hand approach without finding God's Will in organic relationship with Jesus. I want to provoke the real thing. The Redeemed View of Life shows how to live from Christ's mind and perspective. Professing Christ is one thing but possessing and 'wearing' Christ is eternally-essential. Readers discover how to embrace and live a Christ-reflecting lifeview - to Likeness Jesus Christ. In His assessment of 1st century Jews, Jesus declared two paths. One was broad, easy and well-traveled; it ends in destruction. Change course if you're on this path. The other was narrow, hard and not well-traveled; it ends in eternal life. Live it to the fullest if you're on this Christ-following path. Jesus exposed nominal faith in contrast to Christianity. I desire to provoke the 'cake-reality' of Scripture - Christ formed in us - with myriad salvation-recipes. I want you to discover this cake-reality to grow in New Covenant majesty as God can transform us into Trophies of Grace. Readers are challenged to examine what and why they profess - to make sure they possess His reality. I frame my challenge to go where it counts most - in Justification, Salvation and empowerment to Likeness Christ. Biblical Grace provides necessary holiness; I passionately unpack 'my' definition as Grace leads us into obedience because of His Cross-Work. This book helps discover the reality that counts for eternity - that proverbial needle in the haystack
