There are a total of 613 commands in the Bible. Many do not apply to the New Testament Church, but many do. Are God's commands unreasonable? Does He really expect us to obey all of His commands? As believers, we can easily become overwhelmed-not only by the sheer number of commands we are to obey, but also by the gravity of small, yet, weighty words like "every" and "all," found in verses such as: "Take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ" (2 Cor. 10:5) or "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength" (Deut. 6:5).When Jesus walked the earth, He showed us that obeying God's commands are not burdensome (1 John 5:3). He proved that they are doable, as we yield to Him and allow His transforming love and resurrection power to work in us. Only as we walk with Him, moment by moment, can we experience the fullness of His blessings and fulfill our life's purpose to glorify Him. Monica Burney is a pastor's wife who has served as a ministry leader in several areas of church life: Women's ministry director, children's ministry director, church secretary, and Bible memory resource consultant. She is an award-winning poet whose works have spanned several genres: author, poet, songwriter, columnist, and free-lance journalist.

When a man or woman comes face to face with the call to follow Jesus through hearing the gospel, a response is required. Regardless of how the person chooses, ultimately they will respond in one way or another. This book intends to communicate what the scriptures teach is the appropriate response to the grace of God through the work of Christ. We will take an in-depth look at the gospel from Genesis all the way through the New Testament and explain the context in which God sent His Son to become our redemption from the curse of sin. From there, we will examine the work of Christ, our position without Christ, and aspects of following Christ through a life of obedience and commitment. We will also show how the end goal of Christianity is being conformed to the image of Christ and living for the gory of God.

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).

Grace distinguishes Christianity from all other religions. Although commonly used among Christians and non-Christians, the word is too often misunderstood or underappreciated. And yet God's grace is not only the key to becoming a Christian, but also the key to the assurance of salvation and living in freedom to serve God and others. "Simply by Grace" is an easy-to-read introduction to a core Christian belief. By looking at the major questions and issues that surround the concept of grace, Charles C. Bing helps readers understand and appreciate this God-given gift and how simple it really is. "Because only when you understand the simplicity of His grace," writes Bing, "can you begin to understand its deep riches also."

Popular Bible teacher and host of the Gospel Truth broadcast, Andrew Wommack takes on one of the biggest controversies of the Church, the freedom of God's grace verses the faith of the believer. Wommack reveals that God's power is not releases from only grace or only faith. God's blessings come through a balance of both grace and faith. Addressing many of the misconceptions believers are taught in the Church today, this book opens up the Scriptures revealing the vital connection between grace and faith. Wommack addresses: *Some believers willingly sin believing God's grace will cover them, while the blessing of grace is not to sin, but to release guilt and condemnation when they make a mistake. *Other believers think they must "work" their faith by ritualistic prayer, confessions, or Bible study. Although all of these things are good, Jesus Christ set believers free from works of the law. God wants a relationship where He can communicate directly to each believer. *And much more.
