Description

The central claim in Christ Formed in You is that it is God s purpose to change us by step by step making us more like Jesus, and that this happens only as we take into account and apply the gospel to our lives. In the pages that follow We will be able to explore the transforming power of the gospel from several angles. Part One specializes in the foundations for personal change. We will be able to take a look at God s ultimate goal in transforming us (Chapter One); the key to transformation, which is the gospel itself (Chapter Two); and the application of the gospel to our lives in three specific ways (Chapters Three, Four, and Five). Part Two then takes up the pattern of personal change. We will be able to explore the captivating wonderful thing about gospel holiness (Chapter Six); with its demands that we both kill sin (Chapter Seven); and grow in grace by the power of the Spirit (Chapter Eight); and the quest for joy that motivates us in this pursuit and strengthens us in the battle for holiness (Chapter Nine). Part Three of the book specializes in the means of personal change, the tools God uses to grow to be us. These final three chapters, at the same time as building on the foundation of the gospel discussed earlier in the book, are the most practical. We will be able to find out how God uses spiritual disciplines (Chapter Ten); suffering (Chapter Eleven); and personal relationships in the body of Christ (Chapter Twelve) to conform us to the image of Christ. In each and every of these chapters, my aim has been to connect the dots between the gospel, the goal of Christlikeness, and the specific aspect of spirituality under discussion.
