Publisher's Synopsis
For billions of Christians around the world, the words of Jesus Christ are the foundation of their very lives. Regardless of denomination, geography or background, all Christians strive to live by the word of God delivered through His only son. And in churches, prayer groups and other Christian-oriented activities, Jesus Christ provides all who believe in Him with steadfast knowledge and undying love.But too many Christians have not fully utilized what the Lord has given them. They are - in the words of Hebrews 5:12-13 - "like babies who drink only milk and cannot eat solid food." In other words, these Christians may love Jesus and the Gospel, but they have not yet reached a stage of spiritual maturity. And for many of them, their conception of Jesus is that which has been portrayed in popular media and not within the pages of the Bible.In The Evolution of a Christian, author Brian Posey seeks to rectify these shortcomings. The complete journey to Christ is laid out for you in easy-to-follow steps, from understanding the core beliefs of Christianity, to a Christian's responsibilities, to defending your hard-earned faith against others and your own shortcomings. Posey also includes the historical context of the Bible to impart the true meaning of Jesus and His sacrifice as well as the moral lessons He preached.For it is not enough to simply accept Jesus Christ into your heart and let His spirit lay dormant there. Jesus sacrificed Himself for you because He wants you to use his love and power to become the best human being you can be. Whether you are a potential convert to the faith or a longtime believer, this book will show you not only how to accept Christ into your heart, but also how to honor and cherish Him by honoring yourself. Just like how a child becomes a responsible adult through the guidance of his parents, a Christian does the same by allowing Jesus to fully guide him into greatness.The Evolution of a Christian proves that through Christ, all things are possible. When we feel Him deep in our hearts, we are not meant to keep Him contained like hidden treasure. We are meant to spend that treasure on our spiritual growth so that we can share our spiritual wealth with those around us. For only by understanding the significance of Christ's sacrifice can we bask in His reflected glory, and only by living our lives in the most spiritually mature ways can we understand why Jesus Christ honors us with His eternal love.
