Description
Everyone talks about having a relationship with God, But no one explains how to do it. How do Christians become righteous by faith? Is the process a wispy, ethereal belief? Or are there some tangibles--some things we can hold on to and apply in the real world where we live and love work and play? And if so, how do we avoid the common trap of righteousness by works?
Robert M. Johnston has done us all a tremendous favor by unpacking the building blocks of spirituality in a way that is intensely practical, informative, and entertaining at the same time. Questions such as "What's the difference between faith and feeling?" "What exactly does it mean to 'be saved'?" "How can I know the will of God?" and "Since the Bible supports an ascetic lifestyle, is it wrong to enjoy pleasures on this earth?" are skillfully answered in story form through the experiences of a young man who wants to know how to grow in Christ. As you listen in on "Ralph's" conversations, you will understand how to make the spiritual life real, and how to experience Jesus Christ as Lord. If you struggle from time to time with walking by faith, this book will plant your feet on solid ground.
