Life Jesus Gives - Hardcover

Don't Settle for Less Than Your Inheritance in Christ

It’s easy to believe the gospel and still feel something vital is missing. You know Jesus died for your sins and rose from the dead, and you trust you’ll be with him forever. Yet today, you’re trying to prove yourself. Maybe you’re trapped by anxiety, discouraged by stubborn sin, confused about his will, silent about your faith, or losing sight of what’s ahead.

Jesus didn’t die merely to bring you to heaven someday. He gives you himself now. And he’s more fulfilling than any temptation and more powerful than any fear. In Christ, you have riches beyond belief: a new identity and a new family, new power for the present, and new hope for the future.

In The Life Jesus Gives, Matt Smethurst explores 8 struggles that leave everyday Christians feeling stuck, and he shows how the riches already yours in Christ can change how you live today.

• A Compass for the Christian Life: Orients new believers to everyday Christianity and helps longtime believers rediscover what’s already theirs in Christ
• Speaks to Real-Life Struggles: Addresses approval-seeking, anxiety, stubborn sin, executing evangelism, and other challenges that leave Christians feeling stuck
• Practical and Gospel-Centered: Brings the gospel to bear on the pressures, decisions, and demands of ordinary life
• Full of Hope: Points readers back to Jesus, who is more fulfilling than any temptation and more powerful than any fear
