Not Do But Done (eBook): Living From the Completed Work of Christ
“We Start At Finish” unpacks the message of the victory that God secured for humanity through one incredible moment of triumph at the cross. Jesus Christ paid a price that was more than sufficient to reposition mankind to live life according to God’s original design for man. He redeemed our innocence and restored the glory we lost in Adam. The gospel communicates the desire of Jesus Christ’s to showcase humanity as a trophy of His grace!
However so many good Christian people continue to live in a way that reinforces the conviction that we are responsible for our own salvation. Man – in his fallen state – is never going to get it right on his own. Performance based, two-faced, ungraced Christianity is debilitating.
Our assignment has never been about what we can do for God, but what God has done for us. We really start at the finish. If you as a Christ follower are tired of trying to be good, worrying about eternity and earning your way to Christ’s love, this book is liberating.
Discovering that you are not an after-thought in God’s mind as far as the gospel is concerned changes how you view yourself and places you in a new space of flourishing in the course of living.
