Description
The apostle Paul writes that we are to be transformed, but for many Christians, figuring out how to approach spiritual transformation can be elusive. Best-selling author Jerry Bridges helps us understand that we have available to us the ultimate power source for true spiritual growth: the gospel. In The Transforming Power of the Gospel, Bridges guides you through a thorough examination of: What the biblical meaning of grace is and how it applies to your life; How Jesus' work in His life and show more death applies to the believer in justification and adoption; Why basic spiritual disciplines are necessary for spiritual growth; What role the Holy Spirit plays in both definitive and progressive sanctification. show lessTags

This book is really a summary of what Mr. Bridges teaches in his other books with a special emphasis on how the gospel motivates and enables spiritual transformation. This is great book to read if you're unfamiliar with Mr. Bridges work and will whet your appetite for more. However it is repetitive if you are familiar with his work.
Jerry Bridges makes a convincing argument for applying the Gospel to transforming our life in likeness with Christ. This book has challenged me to look at how I view the Gospel of Christ in application to my everyday walk.
