Many believers see the Christian life as a do-your-best struggle. Many live with a sense of failure because they aren't quite what they think they ought to be. Many think that God is disappointed with them and so they adopt a what’s-the-use-of-trying attitude. The performance-orientation that has crept into so many of our churches has placed numerous Christians in severe bondage. BECOMING WHAT YOU ARE is liberating. It sets the believer free to pursue a life of relaxed holiness. Not only does it highlight the believer’s amazing position in Christ, but also shows that spiritual growth is God's responsibility – not ours. The many How to … chapters focus on how to appropriate the abundant resources available to every believer. The book ends with a brief description of the exciting prospect that every believer can look forward to. The content is steeped in Scripture references, yet packed with many practical illustrations and applications to everyday life situations that every believer can identify with.
