You've likely come across countless people who identify as Christian but never seem to truly understand Jesus Christ to be the only begotten Son of God - the one who took away the sins of the world and who will one day return to rule and reign for all eternity. They may be following Jesus in the sense of attending meetings, writing songs, teaching lessons, even preaching from a pulpit. Still, they may remain in a state of not having a new birth. Faron Golden, a church planter and pastor with years of experience in ministry, seeks to explain how such a state of affairs can exist in this book. He answers questions such as: - What are the penalties of living for self rather than living for the one who died for all, so those who live might live for Him? - Does life happen merely by chance, or is there a grand design or plan? - How can we strengthen our faith through reading and reflecting on God's Word? The author also examines the ample evidence in the Bible that tells us we can be sure we have eternal life in Christ, as well as how to ensure we are among the saved when Jesus returns.
