Gospel Motivation

More Than "Jesus Died for My Sins"

Series: Impact Series

Robert J. Koester

As Christians make transitions through life, they often begin to examine their lives and faith in Christ more closely. They may ask, "Am I living fully for God?" "Am I putting my faith into practice?" "Am I as pious or devout as I could be?" "Am I completely focused in my relationship with God?" Sadly, even Christians are not. Even as Christians get older, new temptations and challenges arise that cause them to continue to search for piety in life. According to author Robert Koester, "We are confident that the answers to our need for sanctification are all found in Scripture, and this book will aim at finding some of those answers." Faith and life, the need for a Savior and the responsive desire to live a holy life, and justification and sanctification all go hand in hand. This book examines these close-knit relationships and explores the many strands that connect faith and life. Koester shows how the law, the gospel, and life in Christ are all interwoven so that Christians can develop a healthy way of striving for piety, motivated by the gospel. By focusing on Scripture and by remaining true to God's Word, this book puts everything into proper perspective for Christians living and serving in God's kingdom. Each of the 12 chapters examines an aspect of the gospel and shows how it is applied in Scripture. The gospel passages in every chapter were chosen for their encouragement in sanctification and because they show how the gospel writers wove gospel into virtually everything they said about Christian life. Includes a Scripture index and study questions. Size, 5 3/8" x 8 1/2". Paper cover. 191 pages. Published 2006.
