All struggle with sin, even the strongest Christians. Those who have truly trusted in Christ for salvation have been set free from the condemnation and curse of sin, as well as from sin’s ruling authority in their lives. People do not have to be sinlessly perfect to experience the love, grace, and mercy of Christ. Yet Christ desires that sin be hated and killed to honor and please him—easier said than done.
In the pursuit of personal holiness there is a ditch on either side of the road. The ditch of legalism teaches believers to relate to Christ like a cruel taskmaster, never pleased even with genuine attempts to obey him. This mindset overwhelms believers with despair. The opposite ditch of lawlessness is just as destructive. Some are tempted to indulge in sin in the name of being “free in Christ.” It may bring pleasure for a season, but this ultimately leads to great pain and heartache.
The goal of this book is to help followers of Christ walk the narrow path of holiness, trusting in Christ alone for salvation. Christ calls believers to rest in his finished work and yet strive for holiness. How can both be done?
