In Romans 8:1, the apostle Paul made the remarkable statement that "there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus." Unfortunately, many Christians have never learned how to live in this reality and have not experienced Jesus's promise that the truth will set you free. This book is for anyone who has struggled with the debilitating effects of condemnation. For the Christian, condemnation stems from not knowing who we are in Christ. Each one of us has our own past experiences with people and events that have shaped how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. As we begin to see ourselves through this lens of experience, we begin to accept the lie that these experiences define who we are. It is only by discovering the truth of who we are in Christ and living out of this truth that we find freedom. God wants to write a better story with your life than the one much of your experience tells you is possible. This book will walk you through a step-by-step process that will help you discover that story. If you apply the principles taught in this book, you too will be able to experience the freedom that Jesus promised.
Very eye opening information in this book. Brilliant analogy presented pertaining to how air passes through a filter, and when that filter is dirty, the air conditioning unit that the filter is trying to protect cannot run at optimum efficiency. The unit has to work harder, it wastes electricity, and it can't perform as it was designed to. Comparing that to how the comments, data, and information that come our way are being filtered through the 'filter of our experiences,' and how if we are not letting that data be filtered through what God's Word says of us, then we are essentially allowing misinformation into our lives that is being altered by a faulty filter. We are then believing things that are not true, and not living up to what God has planned for us. Really good perspective.
