Synopsis
God's Role and Our Role in the Pursuit of Holiness
You are never beyond the reach of God's grace. Neither are you ever beyond the need of God's grace.
Without grace we'd never come to Christ. But being a Christian is more than just coming to Christ, it's about growing and becoming more like Jesus. This pursuit of holiness is hard work, and as we enter into this discipline, we sometimes lose sight of grace. Jerry Bridges helps us steer clear of this disastrous distraction, offering a clear and thorough explanation of the gospel and what it means to the believer.
Explore how the same grace that brings us to Christ also grows us in Christ.
Includes full study guide (which was previously sold as a stand-alone discussion guide, ISBN 9781576839904).
