From Christ Not For Him: Discovering Freedom And Identity In Christ
For a long time, I believed the Christian life was about trying harder to become the person God wanted me to be. Every time I failed, I would repent, recommit myself to doing better, and eventually find myself right back where I started. I knew the Gospel, but I was not living from it.
This book was born out of the questions that came from that struggle.
As I began reading Scripture with fresh eyes, I realized that God’s answer was deeper than behavior. The problem was not simply what I was doing. It was what source I was looking to for life. From Genesis to the teachings of Jesus and the letters of the apostles, the Bible tells one story. We were created to live from God, but sin taught us to live from ourselves. In Christ, we are invited back into the life we were made for.
This is not a book about trying harder or becoming a better Christian through more effort. It is about learning to believe what God says is true, finding your identity in Christ, and discovering what it means to live from Him instead of merely living for Him.
My prayer is that these pages do not just give you a new perspective to consider, but they help you see the gospel more clearly and experience the freedom, peace, and joy that come from abiding in Christ.
