Description
"Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." -2 Peter 3:18
How do Christians grow? Few question the call of the Bible to grow in godliness, but the answer to exactly how this happens is often elusive.
In this book, Dane Ortlund points believers to Christ, making the case that sanctification does not happen by doing more or becoming better, but by going deeper into the wondrous gospel truths that washed over them when they were first united to him.
Drawing on wisdom from figures throughout church history, Ortlund encourages readers to fix their gaze on Jesus in the battle against sin, casting themselves upon his grace and living out their invincible identity in Christ.
Explains how Christians grow deeper in the new life that is theirs in Christ
Written by Dane Ortlund, author of Gentle and Lowly (100,000+ copies sold)
A follow up to Rejoice and Tremble in the Union series
Part of a series created in partnership with Union School of Theology to teach Christians to delight in God, grow in Christ, serve the church, and bless the world
A concise version also available: How Does God Change Us? (978-1-4335-7403-0)
