I am immediately starting this book over again. My Dad recommended it to me after I sent him a letter in the mail deeply disturbed by the thought that someday I would have to stand before the LORD and be held accountable for all that I had done in this life. I am ashamed of my sinfulness, that my efforts continually fall short of showing God how much I love him. I was saying with Paul- I do the very evil that I do NOT want to do, even when I set out to do good. This book eloquently conveys the heart of the gospel. The amazing love that our God graciously bestows upon us when we claim him as our own and return to our true home- his presence.I completely agree with the author. As we dwell on the gospel, joy fills our soul. Gratitude comes naturally- and out of thanks for the love poured into our lives- while we were still sinners- obedience comes, not begrudgingly, but exuberantly as we seek out the presence of one who loves us so far and above anything we can imagine or hope for. Our God is amazing! One of our Adventures In Character (AIC) staff members recommended this book to me after we discussed our mutual vision for make the Gospel our emphasis in next year’s program. It is a short, but rich and power-packed 97 pages. It is best summed up in the author’s own words in his introduction: “God did not give us His gospel just so we could embrace it and be converted. Actually, He offers it to us every day as a gift that keeps on giving to us everything we need for life and godliness.” This is something I am coming to realize and appreciate more fully every day!
Good reminder that God's grace is not contingent on our behaviour...Jesus' blood covers all!
