The Gospel Transformed Life: How dwelling on the gospel saves us from our daily sins

A calm home, with no yelling, conflict resolved without lingering anger, the biggest fight is about who serves more, compassion, peace, grace, mercy, forgiveness, patience, and love. Does this describe your home? Impossible you say? Let's at least agree that would be a good goal for each home. I Corinthians 15:1-2 implies that the gospel is saving us from our daily sins. But how? How do Christians today use the gospel for sanctification? We are missing out on a great tool for conformity to the image of Christ. You see, we have the gospel for salvation from our sins that ultimately lead us to hell, and we are grateful for that gospel. We need to take the gospel to our neighbors and the nations and that is certainly true. But who is talking about applying the gospel to our daily lives? What does the gospel have to do with how I treat my wife and kids? What does the gospel have to do with my work and friendships? In The Gospel Transformed Life, we look at the definition of the gospel, our identity in the gospel, and how we apply the elements of the gospel to our everyday life. What does God's grace with me have to do with how I communicate with others? If God was merciful to me, can I be merciful to my neighbor? If Jesus submitted to the Father by being obedient to the cross, does that mean I should submit to God and others? Preaching the gospel to yourself was never taught to me growing up in church. What does it even mean and who does it? It seems uncommon and untaught in the church today. Yet it could be the spiritual discipline that most develops our discipleship in our spiritual life. Meditation on our identity in Christ gives us spiritual direction for our daily walk with God. Whether you are looking for Christian self-help, gospel fluency, help with prayer and meditation, or just a Christian book for women or Christian book for men, the focus on the gospel in this book will encourage you in your discipleship.
