Being Tossed To and Fro? The Way to Steady Yourself

Is there a meaning to my life? This question confronts us at one stage or another. The answer comes from within us in the form of another question: How can I know unless I created me myself? If we assume that man is a created being, we tend to say that the Creator should reveal Himself and give meaning to his life. This revelation naturally has to be progressive, as life is always in progress. Man gets convinced finally when God becomes a man. This conviction gives him a new life. The Bible says that this happens when man receives the good news about Jesus and His death on the cross. The purpose of this new life is to become like Jesus.

There is a force that tries to pull man away from experiencing this new life. If a man persists and experiences it, then this force doesn't allow him to progress in this new life. Various tricks are played. The most prominent is false teaching. It does not allow believers to understand the Bible in its proper meaning. The essential doctrines to be accepted in unity are deliberately distorted. Spurious doctrines are promoted. The pairs of truth presented in the Bible are not allowed to be held in tension. Different kinds of experiences in the lives of biblical characters are ignored; only one is emphasized at the expense of all others. Various means of grace are not allowed to be tapped, and only one means of grace is shown. Full armour is not allowed to be put on, and only one piece is shown to be sufficient to wage the battle. False teaching leaves the believers poverty-stricken in their faith and defenceless in their battle.

This book presents the solution to overcome these tricky hindrances and helps you march forward into the likeness of Jesus.
