No Longer I: The Life-Changing Power of Simply Believing the Truth
⭐ A practical guide for believers who long to experience the promised power of the gospel in everyday life
⭐ A theological reset for Christians and churches seeking true freedom in Christ
Many Christians affirm grace, preach Christ, and quote Paul-yet still live weighed down by sin, shame, spiritual fatigue, or cycles of striving. Why? Because while they've accepted the gospel as they've heard it, they often lack clarity about the truths that form the foundation of the Christian life.
In No Longer I, Jacob Hotchkiss shows how the gospel offers more than forgiveness of sins-it brings real transformation. Drawing deeply from Paul's letters, he explains why sanctification, union with Christ, and freedom from sin are not distant hopes but present realities.
This is not behavior modification, self-help, or a call to "try harder." It is a rediscovery of the gospel's power to produce holiness and spiritual maturity through faith alone.
Inside, you'll
Your True Identity in Christ - Why understanding union with Christ changes everythingGrace vs. Law - How to pursue righteousness without falling into legalismFaith and Obedience - How holiness flows from believing the truth, not sheer willpowerWalking by the Spirit - A practical way to live from your new nature instead of battling the old oneThe Gospel in Everyday Life - How these truths reshape prayer, relationships, emotions, and decision-making
If you've ever felt that something essential is missing in how the gospel is preached-or lived out-this book offers a clear path to gospel transformation. No Longer I is both a discipleship resource and a call to equipping believers, pastors, and small groups to embrace the simplicity and power of believing what God has already said.

I got about 25% through it. I'm not saying I don't agree with his theology, mainly because it was difficult to see where he was coming from. it just rambled on and on with biblical references splattered about never really arriving at a point. I skipped to a point later in the book and it didn't change. After reading a portion I was only left thinking, what's your point?

It seems contrary to the evangelical faith in which I was raised to.
It seems contrary to the evangelical faith I was raised to. I still need to hear reliable theologians who will speak the same language.

Better understanding of God’s righteousness and justification!
I especially appreciate Jacob Hotchkoss’s discussion of the righteousness of God in us and the proper concept of justification in chapter 7. — Ed Florian
