Recovering Redemption
By
Matt Chandler and Michael Snetzer
Do you know the gospel? This book is for you if:
- You’ve never heard of the gospel
- You’ve heard of it but don’t know what it means
- You know what it means but don’t believe
- You know what it means and do believe
Yes, it’s for everyone! No matter where you stand with the gospel of Christ, your understanding of it can always grow deeper. Recovering Redemption challenges your mind in a logical, thoughtful, and biblical way, answering the question: What is the gospel?
The Bible calls it the “good news.” But in order to see the good news for what it is, we have to understand the bad news. We’re all sinners, and nothing we can possibly do can save us from the consequences of our sin — eternal death. Only one thing can save us, and that is the gospel of Christ.
“Well, I’m already saved,” you may be thinking. But the gospel is so much more than a one-time redemption. It is daily. We need the grace of the gospel every single day in order to walk in the freedom of redemption. Otherwise, we fall into our old patterns of sin.
We turn to ourselves. We try to do good, to look good, to earn God’s grace. When we inevitably fail, we feel guilty and defeated. So, we try harder. It’s a never-ending cycle of failure because it’s a battle we cannot win for a freedom we cannot earn.
Redemption can never be earned by religion. @MattChandler74 #RecoveringRedemption #TheHeartoftheAuthor #podcast Click To TweetThat’s the bad news. The good news is, we don’t have to earn it! It is finished and done. Jesus paid the price, and there is nothing more we need to do to earn it.
Join Vickie and Jasa on the podcast to hear more on Recovering Redemption. There is so much good stuff that the episode had to be split into two parts. Tune in next week for part two.
