About this ebook
Coming from atheism to Jesus caused such a profound change in me it is often difficult to express. The desires of my heart were not the same. I wanted to live differently. I wanted to live for Jesus and the gospel message. At the same time, I began to notice that a vast number of my fellow believers lived the way I used to live when I was an atheist. I also knew that needed to change.
We have been incorrectly taught that we will always sin because of our sin nature, and we cannot help it. The Bible tells a different story. We have all we need to live holy lives, and we are commanded to be holy. When we sin, we add suffering to Jesus on the cross. We strike hammer blows against Jesus Christ on the cross. We can live holy. Let’s live holy and do not strike hammer blows on Jesus Christ on the cross.
