Free at Last - McCarson, Derrick

. .

Résumé :
Grace is supposed to be amazing, but all too often the Christian life can be more about keeping stuffy rules than enjoying a relationship with Christ. The tendency to add works to salvation has been a thorny problem since the gospel was first preached. Legalism--the doctrine of salvation by works--robs the Christian of the grace-filled life. The book of Galatians is like an emancipation proclamation that says, If the Son has set you free, then you are free at last! The liberating message of Galatians says believers are free from sin, regulations, and guilt. Free from the need to measure up. Free to be loved by Christ and changed by his grace. Galatians is a guide for recovering Pharisees, and in Free at Last , Derrick McCarson takes us on a verse-by-verse journey through Paul's bondage-busting manifesto. You may be surprised to learn that Paul's message of grace is still as relevant today as it was centuries ago. While the culture has changed much in those intervening years, mankind's inherent desire for performance-based religion has not. This book is a timely reminder to Christians everywhere that if we aren't living by grace, then we have succumbed to spiritual slavery. Derrick McCarson is a young man whose head is full of truth and heart is full of grace. His writings show 'scholarship on fire.' You will find this book thoroughly biblical and immensely practical. Having served as his pastor and observed him shepherding a flock in our community, I know he has a message we need to hear! --Dennis Thurman, Pastor, Pole Creek Baptist Church, Asheville, NC Derrick McCarson is the pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Candler, NC.
