The Gospel for Real Life - by Jerry Bridges (Paperback)

About the Book

See for yourself how the gospel is more than eternal salvation--it sets you free from sin's defeat and empowers you to experience God's abundant life.

Book Synopsis

What difference does the gospel make?

The gospel provides for our eternal salvation, but how does it benefit us day to day? Jerry Bridges, author of The Pursuit of Holiness and Trusting God, shares how the gospel transforms you daily into Christlikeness. Learn more about the character of God and the character of Jesus as you explore this book on your own, in a small group, or with a discipleship partner.

By making Christian theology approachable and understandable, The Gospel for Real Life will help you:

• Experience freedom from the grip of sin and know the joy of pursuing righteousness
• Revel in God's acceptance of you and participate in His grace as a daily reality
• Expose the subtle acids of legalism in your life and enjoy the liberty of the cross
• Discover how to "preach the gospel to yourself daily" and so partake of its continuous transforming power
• Carry the true fullness of the gospel to a desperately needy world around you

Includes a study guide with discussion questions to help you experience every day "the unsearchable riches of Christ" that are available to us in the gospel.
