Learn more fully what it means to be loved and empowered through a vital relationship
that could be called knowing Christ "as your life."
Even if you know this basic message so well that you think that you don't need another explanation of it, this booklet will provide you
with a means of sharing that message to other people, even if you don't have the opportunity to talk to them extensively.
More about this book:
This is a booklet primarily for Christians, to share with them how they can appropriate what God has already
given them in Christ. However, it does not assume that you are a Christian or know how to look up verses in
the Bible. You will learn these essentials and go on to learn how Christ can be your life.
The “Life and Cross” diagrams which some of you are familiar with through presentations in counseling, teaching and
training done by offices in the Association of Exchanged Life Ministries, are the basis for this booklet. I present
the diagrams and explain them in a personal and direct way, as I would with you if I was talking to you.
You will see deeper meanings to the cross than the forgiveness of your sins. You will learn that God changed
who you are there. You became a new spiritual being with the great resources in God Himself within yourself.
Concepts or Bible verses which may have baffled you before will become clearer, such as the first of
Galatians 2:20, “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live.”
You will understand better why living by your own strength, apart from Christ’s power, is futile and ineffective.
Then I will demonstrate that the better way is to cooperate with Christ and His Spirit, relying on Their resources.
Verses like the next part of Galatians 2:20 will be more meaningful to you: “Christ lives in me; and the life which
I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and delivered Himself up for me.”
So this handy sized booklet could lead you to life change yourself. It also is great to give to others.
The writing style is straight forward, just what I'd say to you if I could speak to you face-to-face. The illustrations
and diagrams will simplify important facts from the Bible.
