The Gospel for Real Life: Turn to the Liberating Power of the Cross...Every Day (Bridges)

Description

What difference does the gospel make? The gospel of Jesus Christ is the door to eternal life, but what difference does it make once we're inside God's kingdom? Jerry Bridges says the gospel is the very lifeblood of our walk with God. Without doubt it is the key to our salvation, but it is also the power for our daily progress in holiness.

The Gospel for Real Life will help you:

• Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing holiness

• Revel in God's acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality

• Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross

• Discover how to "preach the gospel to yourself daily" and so partake of its continuous transforming power

• Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you

This new paperback edition includes a study guide to help you experience every day "the unsearchable riches of Christ" that are available to us in the gospel.
